By: Melissa Crandall While on a routine mission to retrieve a research drone for recycling, the U.S.S. Enterprise encounters a Romulan space station adrift within Federation borders. Exploring the lifeless station, the crew finds ghostly apparitions flitting at the edges of sight. Soon the U.S.S. Enterprise is also inexplicably without power. Captain Kirk and his crew must now solve the mystery of the strange apparitions before the starship suffers the station's fate. The situation becomes desperate when a Romulan warship arrives looking for the station, and the Romulan Commander accuses the Federation of treachery. Before Captain Kirk can save the Starship Enterprise from complete destruction, he must avoid becoming drawn into a deadly shell game - a game that will leave no winners and no survivors . . .
Interesting . . . A space station just floats away. And recycling a research drone? The early 90's recycling craze had an influence on Trek novels too it seems. Actually, this is a pretty good story. I didn't figure out what happened to the station before it was revealed in the story, so it held my interest. While the crew is exploring the station, you really get the feeling the place is haunted. One thing did bother me though: Kirk stays on the Enterprise throughout the entire novel because of a recent message from Starfleet stating that captains should let their first officers and security teams do all the exploring. Let's keep Next Generation stuff like this out of classic Trek! Other than that, I enjoyed this story very much!
