In a remote area of Federation space, the Enterprise picks up an urgent distress signal from a Klingon vessel. Tracing the signal, the crew finds the Klingon cruiser Mauler trapped in a dimensional storm of unusual power. Surprisingly the ship refuses both the Enterprise’s call and offers to help. Determined to discover what the Klingons are doing in Federation space, Kirk beams aboard their ship with a security team just as the storm flares to its highest intensity. As the Spock and the bridge crew watches in horror, the Mauler vanishes from the Enterprise’s view screen. And James T. Kirk awakens…one hundred years in the future.
Before reading the Star Trek: The New Frontier series by Peter David, I thought I would revisit some of the older Star Trek books that I remembered enjoying. I remembered one of my favorite eras in Trek fiction was during the Pocket Books series numbered in the 40s. Two of the better ones appeared close together. One was “Double, Double” by Michael Jan Friedman. The other was the first one I chose to re-read. It was a classic original Trek by David Dvorkin.
