By: Denny Martin Flinn Captain Sulu of the U.S.S. Excelsior and his crew are kidnapped. When Federation conducted negotiations come to a standstill, Captain James Kirk and the former officers of the U.S.S. Enterprise reunite to rescue their old comrade. The officers learn carrying out their mission could prove difficult when they encounter the kidnappers - a greedy, little known race called the Thraxians, who believe their way is the only way. Now the Thraxians are demanding super powerful weapons in exchange for the hostages. With no other alternatives, Kirk is forced to consider giving in to the Thraxians to save the Excelsior crew - a decision that could save a few, but endanger the lives of an entire star system.
This novel picks up where Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country leaves off. It has nothing to do with the movie, but the events in the book take place right after the events in the movie. It really doesn't matter because it's mostly a story about Sulu and the Excelsior crew. Don't get me wrong, I like Mr. Sulu, but this story didn't do much for me. I found myself not really caring about the Excelsior crew much and I'm really getting tired of reading about Kirk being a "desk bound paper pusher", the one thing he never wanted to become. Come on, let's put Kirk back in action!
