By: Dana Kramer-Rolls A dispute over a planet and its primitive people leads Captain Kirk and a Klingon Commander to pit their ships against each other in battle. But the fight is stopped by a mysterious and powerful alien being named Weyland, who decides to punish three Enterprise crew members with their own history. He places Sulu in feudal Japan during the period's most important and bloody power struggle, Scotty in 18th Century Scotland on the eve of revolt, and Chekov in W.W.II Russia. Now, the three time travelers must face overwhelming dangers as they are pulled by conflicting forces: their allegiance to their homelands, their duty to the Federation they serve, and the demands of history.
This one reminded me a bit of "Arena", at least at first. Of course, it involved time travel so that grabbed my attention right away. It's really four stories in one: the main story and each crew member's adventure in their own past. (Similar to "The Kobayashi Maru") Each story is well done, and I found myself not wanting any of them to end. Overall, a very entertaining novel that I found hard to put down!
