By: Michael Jan Friedman Book #2 of 3 Continuing the powerful story of Jim Kirk's lost friend, the man who helped shape a Starfleet captain . . . Gary Mitchell is dead, killed by his best friend for the sake of his ship. As Captain Kirk returns home in sadness, he recalls the first time he held Gary's life in his hands: Seven years earlier, the two men have been assigned to the U.S.S. Constitution, Gary as chief navigator and Kirk as second officer, when the starship comes to the defense of an alien world menaced by ruthless invaders. An early attack leaves both the captain and the first officer in comas, and Jim Kirk must take command for the first time. He finds himself with only one chance to defeat the heavily armed enemy - but the cost may be Gary Mitchell's life!
One of the things I noticed while reading this book was that some of the text on the back cover was wrong: "An early attack leaves both the captain and the first officer in comas," That doesn't happen! I guess the story was changed, but they forgot to update the text on the back cover! Anyway . . . That doesn't take away from the fact that this is another great story. All 3 books start off with the story taking place just after the events in the episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" and then they do a flashback to earlier times. Usually flashback stories are not my favorite, but these stories are top notch. I highly recommend this series!
