On a routine exploratory mission, the Starship U.S.S. Hood picks up a distress signal from a research expedition thought lost long ago-the expedition of Dr. Roger Korby, one of the centuries’ greatest scientific minds. Korby himself is dead, it seems, but his colleagues have made a most incredible discovery. A discovery they insist the Hood’s captain sees for himself. Reluctantly, the captain agrees to beam down.
Meanwhile the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise begins a long overdue shore leave on Tranquility Seven. James T. Kirk is looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation…until what seems like a bizarre case of mistaken identity plunges Kirk into a whirlpool of mayhem and murder and puts an inhuman stranger with his memories in command of the Enterprise.
Have you ever wondered what happened after a television episode? Michael Jan Friedman shows us the follow up to the original series “What Little Girls Are Made Of”. It is one of the best of the Trek books I have read.
