By: Michael Jan Friedman As a young doctor with a beautiful family and a promising medical career, Dr. McCoy thought he had it all. But when the woman he loved betrayed him, McCoy fled to Starfleet hoping to lose his pain in the depths of space. Now, more than forty years later, the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew are ordered to transport a group of mediators to the planet Ssan, a world where assassination is a long and time honored tradition. Dr. McCoy is surprised to learn that his ex-wife, now remarried, is one of the mediators. But before McCoy can begin to face his feelings for his former love, she and Captain Kirk are trapped by a band of deadly assassins. Suddenly, McCoy is in the center of an explosive civil war, where he is the only one with the power to save the woman who once nearly destroyed him. McCoy must now overcome a centuries long tradition of death, and his own past with the woman he still loves, or else lose her for the second time . . .
We finally get to meet McCoy's ex-wife! It was never mentioned in the TV series, but it's generally accepted that McCoy joined Starfleet because his wife left him. We've never known the details before, but thanks to Mr. Friedman, now we do! Michael Jan Friedman is one of the top Trek authors and he continues his excellent writing with this story. An entertaining book that I'm sure you'll enjoy!
