Sudden revolution
on the planet Dekkanar brings Captain
Kirk
and the Enterprise running to evacuate Federation
personnel
trapped there. But their orders from Starfleet are
quite
clear: the Enterprise is to assist in the evacuation,
no
more. No weapons are to be displayed, no shields raised,
no
shots fired.
Meanwhile,
halfway across the galaxy, an experimental
Klingon
warship sets forth on a mission of its own, a warship
with
hidden - and heretofore undreamed of - capabilities,
commanded
by a warrior who will stop at nothing to bring
glory
to his Empire - and restore his own lost honor.
The
Klingon ship's destination? The planet Dekkanar . . .
How come the Klingons
are always building these
amazing
experimental warships with super-powers that
can
devastate a Federation starship?
If
they're able to do this, don't you think they would just
build
a bunch of them and just wipe out Starfleet?
And
what's with those orders? Can't raise the shields?
That's
crazy - Starfleet wouldn NEVER do that - and if they did,
Kirk
would definitely disobey those orders because of one
fundamental
reason: the Enterprise is his first priority.
This
was an OK book, but I'm not fond of these types of stories
where
they "handcuff" Kirk just to make the problem harder to solve.
