By: Victor Milan Okeanos, a water world settled centuries ago by a group of Federation separatists, is now rocked by a power struggle between the natives and the ex-Federation colony. When the U.S.S. Enterprise is sent beyond the Federation's boundaries to the planet to act as mediators, they are surprised to find a group of Klingons already serving as the natives' advisors. The volatile situation rapidly deteriorates when one of Okeanos's great floating cities is completely destroyed, and Captain Kirk is arrested for sabotage. Now at the center of a deadly civil war, Mr. Spock and the crew must race to free their captain as they face the deadly secret hidden beneath Okeanos's murky depths.
This one didn't impress me much. It's basically just a Klingon / Federation interfere type of story. Kind of like "A Private Little War" from TOS. However, being mediators in non-Federation matters is NOT what the Enterprise should be doing. And what's with the Federation separatists settling a world "centuries ago"? It's only the 23rd century, which is only 2 centuries from now. The Federation has only had interstellar travel for 2-1/2 centuries. The way it's written makes it seem like 5 or 6 (or more) centuries ago. I know, I know . . . I'm being picky, but things like that bug me. Unless you're determined to read them all, I'd skip this one.
