By: Diane Carey Back on Earth enjoying a well-deserved shore leave, Captain Kirk is rudely accosted by a trio of Starfleet Security guards. It seems he is wanted for questioning in connection with the theft of transwarp - the Federation's newest, most advanced propulsion system. Could Captain Kirk, Starfleet's most decorated hero, be guilty of stealing top-secret technology? With the aid of Mr. Spock, Lt. Cmdr. Piper begins a desperate search for the scientists who developed transwarp - a search that leads her to an isolated planet, where she discovers the real - and very dangerous - traitor!
This is a direct sequel to the novel 'Dreadnought!" (#29) and this too, is written in the 'first person.' I really wish they wouldn't do that and I'm pleased to say no one has done it since. As for the storyline - of course Kirk didn't steal the technology; they even say so on the back cover! Anyway, as I said for Dreadnaught! there's nothing wrong with the actual writing as Diane Carey is a top-notch author I just don't care for the 'first person' perspective.
