            'Why  are  we now traveling into Space? Why  indeed,  did  we 
            trouble to look past the next mountain? Our prime  obligation 
            to ourselves is to make the unknown known. We are on a  jour-
            ney to keep an appointment with whatever we are'
        
            - Gene Roddenberry
        
            According  to its author, the above quotation may explain  in 
            part  a  remarkable phenomenon of the past ten years  -   and 
            account  for one of the most widely anticipated  motion  pic-
            tures  of  this  year. Gene Roddenberry is  the  producer  of 
            Paramount's  new multi-million-dollar space adventure  drama, 
            Star Trek - The Motion Picture. For him, the film  culminates 
            a  fourteen-year  labor of love that began in  1964  when  he 
            created  the Star Trek TV series. After two pilots  had  been 
            made,  the show began its three year run on NBC in 1966  with 
            Roddenberry  producing. After being canceled by  the  network 
            and  placed in syndication throughout the world in 1970,  the 
            series  inspired  an unprecedented show  business  phenomenon 
            that continues to this day.
            A former airline pilot, Gene Roddenberry's own life has  been 
            as  adventure studded as a James Bond scenario. But,  it  was 
            the opportunity to express more than adventure in his writing 
            that led him to choose science fiction as his medium for a TV 
            series.

            The Enterprise is summoned to transport a dangerous  criminal 
            from  Starbase prison to a rehabilitation  center:  brilliant 
            physicist,  Dr.  Georges Mordreaux, accused of  promising  to 
            send people back in time - then killing them instead.
        
            But when Mordreaux escapes, bursts onto the bridge and  kills 
            Captain Kirk, Spock must journey back in time to avert disas-
            ter - before it occurs!
        
            Now there's more at stake then just Kirk's life.  Mordreaux's 
            experiments  have  thrown the entire universe into  a  deadly 
            time warp. Spock is fighting time and the universe is closing 
            in  on itself with the relentless squeeze of ... THE  ENTROPY

            They were fleeing, to some place he would never find, and  he 
            could come back again and again and again, earlier and earli-
            er, further fragmenting the very substance of the universe as 
            he attempted futilely to repair the damage being done. But he 
            would  always  fail, he knew it now, something  would  always 
            happen to cause him to fail. Entropy would always win out.
        
            He cried out in despair.
        
            Fighting  the  haplessness that washed over him,  somehow  he 
            flung himself over onto his chest. Every nerve and muscle  in 
            his  body  shrieked as he reached to drag himself  along  the 
            floor  like  the  crippled creature he was,  like  the  first 
            primordial amphibian struggling for breath on the shores of a 
            vanishing  lake, knowing instinctively in the most  primitive 
            interconnections of his brain that he would probably die,  if 
            he  continued, that he would surely die, if he  stayed,  that 
            his only chance was to keep going, to try....

            THE KLINGONS ARE HUNGARY FOR WAR ... THEIR TARGET: THE ENTER-

            When  Captain Kirk and his crew are ordered to Alnath  II  to 
            challenge  the  deadliest Klingon  Starship  Terror,  they're 
            ready  for anything - or so they think. But  the  defenseless 
            Vulcan crew of a Federation science ship has been wiped  out. 
            The  remaining members of the Alnath II mission have  discov-
            ered a fabulous ancient city - but their report doesn't  make 
            sense.  The Klingon battle cruiser has the Enterprise in  its 
            sights, and is ready to destroy it.
        
            But  Captain  Kirk can't seem to make  decisions.  Spock  has 
            started  to throw temper tantrums. And Chekov  has  disobeyed 
            vital orders.
        
            The crew of the Enterprise are loosing their minds ... one by

            "Status  report, Mr. Sulu," Kirk demanded as he made his  way 
            to the command seat.
        
            "Klingons are increasing the attack, sir."

            "We canna survive more'n ten minutes at this rate, Cap'n!"
        
            Kirk  slammed  his fist against the armrest  of  the  command 
            seat.  He couldn't fight. He dare not open fire.  The  Enter-
            prise  might  outmaneuver the Klingon ship, but  it  couldn't

            THE  SHADDAN  CROWN IS THE KEY TO POWER -  AND  THE  KLINGONS 
            HAVE THE ADVANTAGE!
        
            An  Enterprise shuttle is forced to crash-land in  a  violent 
            storm  on  the  barren planet Sigma 1212.  Spock,  McCoy  and 
            Kailyn, the beautiful heir to the Shaddan throne, survive  in 
            the near disaster.
        
            Now,  Pursued  by  primitive hunters and a  band  of  Klingon 
            scouts,  they  must  reach the mountain  where  the  fabulous 
            dynastic  crown is hidden. With the help of Spock and  McCoy, 
            and  her own fantastic mental powers, Kailyn must prove  that 
            she alone is the true heir to the throne.
        
            If they fail, they will open the door for Klingon takeover of 
            the  whole quadrant - and the galaxy's hope to live long  and 
            prosper will fall in the shadow of a cruel tyranny!

            The  Mounting Sound of Enemy Voices, the Utter Trapped  Help-
            lessness, the Sweeping Feeling of Dread ...
        
            McCoy  held  his  breath and waited. The soft  steps  of  the 
            hunters'  boots were barely discernible, betrayed only by  an 
            occasional scuff of leather on sand and rock. But they  moved 
            closer, no longer accompanied by voices. A shadow cast itself 
            across the cave floor, covering the morning light that  shone 
            in  dimly. The shadow paused and the scuffing  ceased.  McCoy 
            could  hear his own heartbeat, feel it from his knees to  his 
            throat.  Kailyn  stood frozen next to him,  anchored  to  the 
            floor.
        
            A  whining  phaser beam suddenly sliced  the  stillness,  the 
            shadows  fell  away  from the cave entrance,  and  McCoy  and 
            Kailyn gasped together as they heard a sound like two  filled

            CAN THE GALAXY'S GROWING VIOLENCE BE STOPPED?
        
            Captain Kirk and his crew are on a mission to investigate the 
            mysterious wave of violence that has overtaken the Helvans  - 
            revolutions, mass riots, horrible tortures, But this chaos is 
            all part of an experiment by an unimaginable power that  soon 
            grips even the crew of the Enterprise ...
        
            Captain  Kirk  is plagued by violent  hallucinations  and  is 
            removed from command. Spock takes charge but his orders  seem 
            irrational - even cruel.
            
            Unless  this  terrible  power can be stopped,  not  only  the 
            Enterprise,  but  an entire galaxy will be  ensnared  in  the

            THE VULCAN'S CABIN LOOKED LIKE AN ANTEROOM OF HELL
        
            It  had  again been decorated, after Spock's  return  to  the 
            refitted Enterprise, in the deep red of Spock's Vulcan  pref-
            erence.  The  weapons collection had been reinstated  on  the 
            wall  in remembrance of Vulcan's savage past. The  attunement 
            flame again cast  flickering light and shadow from the demon-
            ic  sculpture  carved to house it. Of  the  flame-sculpture's 
            true purpose only a few had dared to ask. But if the gargoyle 
            had  been set to guard the gates of hell, no one  would  have 
            been surprised.
        
            Now,  with two Vulcans still wearing the horns of Helvan  and 
            the look of guarding the gates themselves, the Vulcan  rendi-
            tion of Human nightmare was complete.
        
            Kirk  stepped forward and gave formal greeting in the  Vulcan 
            manner.
        
            Spock  remained  seated and did not return it. He  looked  at

            There was the unmistakable ringing song of transporter  mate-

            with  a sigil of authority on his shoulder,  materialized  in

            The  holo-spaces above the console filled with two  life-size

            eroded their ledges.

            Vulcan was fully conscious of his Helplessness.

            The  Romulans  attack the planet  Gateway,  where  Federation 
            scientists are studying the Guardian of Forever - the  myste-
            rious portal to the past.
        
            The Enterprise must protect the Guardian - or destroy it. But 
            Spock has already used the portal to journey to the past.  On 
            the planet Sarpedion. 5,000 years ago Spock knew a beautiful, 
            primitive woman. Now he has gone to meet his son!

            THE ROMULAN THREAT CLOSES IN.... ZAR!
        
            Spock  felt  an irrational impulse - to comfort his  son.  He 
            reached  out  a hand, shook his shoulder  gently.  "Stop  it, 
            Zar."
        
            Zar  gasped, then ignored him. "I'm scared. I hate them.  I'm 
            going  to  die....  Die...." His  body  stiffened,  then  the 
            clenched hands loosened, and he tumbled over....
        
            Shocked, Spock stared at him. He went to the limp figure.  He 
            pulled  his  son's  head into his lap, felt his  throat  -  a 
            flutter, very slight.... His fingers went to the  temples.... 
            Probing,  reaching,  calling desperately the name,  over  and 
            over.... Zar! Zar! Finally.... Zar!

            "Sir,  please  do not touch the console." Kirk  spun  to  see 
            several crewman standing along the rear bulkhead. "Use of the 
            phasers against the society below is wrong."
        
            "Get to your posts immediately. This is a direct order! Lives

            us."

            "Row!" Kirk ordered. He and Spock grabbed their oars and bent 
            their backs to the task, while Godor kept nervously  scanning 
            the  water's surface for Sealons. Had all the fisherman  been 
            with  them,  as Kirk has planned, they could have  made  good 
            speed,  but as it was, the boat moved away from the  site  of 
            their primitive depth-charge with agonizing slowness.
        
            An  enormous  concussion slammed the boat upwards.  Kirk  and 
            Spock  were  tumbled from their seats onto  the  boards,  but 
            Godor, who had been halt standing, shot out of the boat  into 
            the  water. He surfaced instantly, his face filled with  ter-

            er.  But  when  the Romulans kidnap  Vulcans  to  genetically 
            harness  their  mind power, Ael decided on  treason.  Captain 
            Kirk,  her old enemy, joins her in a secret pact  to  destroy 
            the  research laboratory and free the captive  Vulcans.  When 
            the  Romulans discover their plan, the Neutral  Zone  seethes 
            with schemes and counter-schemes, sabotage and war!

            into  one  of  the cargo Transporter Rooms,  pulled  out  her 
            phaser and leapt up onto the platform, with a great group  of 
            her  own people and Kirk's. The young man behind  the  Trans-
            porter  console set the delay, headed for the  platform  him-
            self, and they all dissolved in shimmer together.
        
            It  must have been something different about  the  Federation 
            Transporters, something unsettling in their engineering -  or 
            maybe just Ael's own suppressed fear, crying out in her  mind 
            -  that made her think she heard, as she dematerialized,  the 
            sound  of  phaser fire outside the Transporter  Room,  and  a 
            scream ...

            Captain  Kirk and the Enterprise join the Klingons  to  avert 
            disaster  inn the Taygeta V system - where a time/space  warp 
            has  swallowed a spaceship without a trace. Spock suspects  a 
            link  between  the anomaly and the  inhabitants  of  Taygeta, 
            semi-aquatic  creatures killed for the jewel-like  tears  se-

            threatens  the vital mission, as a desperate Kirk  and  Spock 
            race to save the Taygetians, the Federation - and the  entire

            The  gaudy  colors  of the phenomenon  writhed  forward,  its 
            outermost  tendrils  just brushing  the  pockmarked,  cindery 
            surface  of  the inner planet. The planet  seemed  to  waver, 
            becoming  almost transparent, and then it vanished from  view 
            as the time/space rip enveloped it.
        
            Spock  swung  about  in his chair and looked  at  Kirk.  "All

            readings associated with the phenomenon. For all intents  and

            "But where has it gone, Mr Spock?" Scotty murmured.

            Enterprise  crew member. Spock's mother is also a patient  in

            Suddenly, patients are dying, and Kirk suspects the unthinka-
            ble - murder on Vulcan! But can he convince the Vulcans  that 
            something  as  illogical  as murder is  possible?  Until  the

            Years  ago, Lt. Uhura befriended a diplomat from Eeiauo,  the 
            land  of graceful, cat-like beings. The two  women  exchanged 
            forbidden songs and promised never to reveal their secret.
        
            Now the Enterprise is orbiting Eeiauo in a desperate race  to 
            save  the inhabitants before a deadly plague  destroys  them. 
            Uhura's  secret  songs may hold the key to a cure -  but  the 
            clues are veiled in layers on mystery. The plague is  killing 
            humans,  threatening other planets - and Kirk must crack  the 
            code before the Enterprise succumbs!

            "Would I be telling you that if I weren't? What do you  think

            The bandit yelled in pain and Sulu slid his blade free. There 
            was  blood on the point. From somewhere to his left,  another 
            bandit screamed - Urmi's work. The prince was still busy with 
            Lord Tayu.
        
            Panting  for breath, Sulu turned back to the  other  bandits. 
            But  they  weren't nearly as enthusiastic as  they  had  been 
            before.  Finally,  a large man with a  huge  cutlass  started 
            towards  Sulu. And Sulu tensed. The man's cutlass  was  large 
            enough to break Sulu's own blade if he wasn't careful. But on 
            the other hand, it ought to be a clumsier weapon. It would be 
            a test of Sulu's own quickness - and perhaps his luck. . . .

            Now Romulans have kidnaped six Warrantors, to foment  politi-
            cal  chaos  -  and then civil war -  within  the  Federation. 
            Captain Kirk must send Sulu to infiltrate Romulan  territory, 
            find  the  hostages, and bring them back alive -  before  the 
            Federation self-destructs!

            Uhura  Was  at Her Post When Suddenly Her  Console  Began  to 
            Flicker and Beep . . .
        
            "...  Enterprise,  come  in Enterprise ...  Gamma  7  calling 
            Enterprise, come in please. . . ."
        
            The signal was faint, full of gaps and heavy with static, and 
            the voice was not Sulu's.
        
            "Enterprise  here," Uhura said crisply. "You're  very  faint, 
            Gamma 7. I can barely read you. . . ."
        
            "This frequency too risky. Can't hold channel long. We have a 
            priority data feed. . . ."
        
            The relays fed in a whole string of numbers and Uhura's pulse 
            began  to race. These were the trade route  coordinates  Sulu 
            had  promised just before they lost contact! It meant he  was 
            alive  and  still free to move about. Or had been,  at  least 
            long  enough to broadcast his findings . . . . If Sulu  can't 
            get  out under his own steam, she thought, they'll  never  be 
            able to retrieve him. . . .

            Threatened  by a deadly famine, the Klingon Empire is on  the 
            verge of igniting a mad interplanetary war of conquest.  When 
            a  earthquake destroys a remote Federation research  station, 
            Jean  Czerny,  agricultural scientist, succumbs  to  amnesia. 
            Stranded  on  enemy borders, she is imprisoned by  Kang,  the 
            evil commander of a Klingon battleship. Now Kirk must play  a 
            dangerous game of mind strategy to prevent a savage attack on 
            the Federation!

            "Commander Kang, you are holding one of my people . . .
        
            and certain materials belonging to the Federation. I formally 
            demand immediate return."
        
            Kang  smiled  openly. "Surely you jest,  Captain.  Lieutenant 
            Czerny  is bond to me. She is a very valuable pawn to me  for 
            the moment. I have no intention of releasing her yet."
        
            "Kang,  when  your ship was destroyed and I  took  your  crew 
            survivors aboard my ship they were well-treated. I expect the 
            same  for Czerny. I will hold you personally responsible  for 
            her  treatment." Kirk rubbed his right cheek with  an  uncon-
            scious gesture as he recalled the image of Kang standing over 
            Chekov's  writhing form with the Klingon Agonizer pressed  to 
            his face. . . .

            They Had Searched the Area near the Mountains
        
            where the plateau broke off abruptly, beginning again after a 
            drop of some 400 feet.
        
            Reluctantly,  Scott  peered down, careful of  his  own  steps 
            along  the edge of the drop. Kirk searched a  short  distance 
            away; the height was beginning to make him dizzy. . . .
        
            He  saw  Scott stiffen and draw his head up quickly,  and  he 
            knew with heartsickening certainty what the engineer saw.  He 
            ran to Scott's side, and clutching his arm, was compelled  to 
            look down at what he could not bear to see.

            "Mr. Chekov, Please Take Us Down Close to the Ground,"
        
            Spock said. As Chekov pitched the joystick forward and  eased 
            back  on the power, he asked, "Vhat are ve looking  for,  Mr. 
            Spock?"
        
            "Some  indication  of the location of the  Centaurus  Medical 
            Complex,"  the Vulcan answered. "Dr. McCoy's daughter  was  a 
            medical  student there. I would like to be able to  tell  the 
            doctor something of her fate."
        
            At  last,  they noticed the stumps of what had  been  several 
            Gothic-style  buildings. Slowly, they coasted over the  ruins 
            of  the  Medical Complex. Here and there, dead  littered  the 
            landscape.
        
            Chekov's  teeth  were  clenched.  "Someone  must  answer  for 
            this...this..."  He  sought an adequate word, but  could  not 
            find one.
        
            They  hovered  over what had been the central square  of  the 
            medical  school  campus. No one came out from hiding  in  re-
            sponse to the racket of their engines.
        
            Finally, Chekov took them up and away.

            Star Empire is the Federation's most powerful new weapon -  a 
            dreadnought, first in a class of super-starships - capable of 
            outgunning a dozen Klingon cruisers, or subduing a galaxy.
        
            On  the  eve of her maiden voyage, Star Empire is  stolen  by 
            terrorists who demand a rendezvous with the Enterprise -  and 
            with  Lieutenant Piper, stationed aboard Kirk's ship  on  her 
            first  training  cruise.  Now Piper  must  discover  why  her 
            friends  from Starfleet are among the terrorists ... and  why 
            they insist the ship was stolen not to attack the  Federation 
            - but to save it!

            While mapping a series of gravitational anomalies, the Enter-
            prise  is  suddenly hurled millions  of  light-years  through 
            space,  into  a  distant  galaxy  of  scorched  and  lifeless 
            worlds ... into the middle of an endless interstellar war.
        
            With  no  way back home, the crippled starship  finds  itself 
            under relentless and suicidal attack by both warring  fleets! 
            And  Captain  Kirk must gamble the lives of his crew  on  his 
            ability  to  stop a war that has raged for  centuries  -  and 
            ravaged a galaxy ...

            "Collision course, Captain ..."
        
            "...  at  present acceleration, impact  in  seven-point-three 
            seconds, " Spock said.
        
            "Evasive maneuvers, Mr. Sulu!"
        
            Sulu  and  the navigation computer responded, and  the  alien 
            ship  shot  by a hundred kilometers below, its  lasers  still 
            drenching  the Enterprise's shields and surrounding space  in 
            concentrated radiation.
        
            "They apparently do not like us, Captain," Chekov commented.
        
            "Apparently,"  Kirk agreed. "If this is the way  everyone  in 
            this  neighborhood  reacts to strangers, it's no  wonder  all 
            these worlds were destroyed."
        
            "They are persistent, too sir. The ship is returning again."
        
            "But  this will be it's last run, Captain," Spock  said.  "It 
            appears  to be purposely inducing an overload in its  primary 
            power  source. Unless something is done, all its  matter  and 
            anti-matter  fuel will be simultaneously converted to  energy 
            in  eighteen-point-three  seconds, which time  will  coincide 
            with its closest approach to the Enterprise. If that approach 
            is  as  close as previous approaches, our  deflector  shields 
            will not be able to withstand the energy release."

            A  routine  diplomatic visit to the  water-world  of  Akkalia 
            becomes a nightmarish search for a missing Spock and  Chekov, 
            a  search that plunges Admiral Kirk headlong into  a  corrupt 
            government's desperate struggle to retain power.
        
            For  both a Federation Science outpost and akkalia's  valiant 
            freedom  fighters have begun uncovering the  ancient  secrets 
            hidden  beneath her tranquil oceans. Secrets  whose  exposure 
            may mean civil war for the people of Akkalia - and death  for 
            the crew of the starship Enterprise.

            "STAND BY FOR EVASIVE MANEUVERS, MR. CHEKOV ..."
        
            Spock  shoved the throttle control to maximum.  The  G-forces 
            squeezed them back into their seats.
        
            "Damn."  Chekov glanced up from his scanner.  "They're  still 
            closing on us. They were built for this ... we weren't."
        
            Spock  replied  by yanking the throttle back,  cutting  their 
            speed  to  a standstill. The pursuing  Chorymi  ships  rushed 
            past.
        
            Chekov grinned wickedly. "Good move, Mr. Spock."
        
            "Not  good enough, I'm afraid," Spock replied.  The  tactical 
            screen  showed the dogged Chorymi fighters hadn't  given  up. 
            within seconds they were back within weapons range, and fired 
            another volley.
        
            Spock and Chekov felt the shuttle take two hits at the stern. 
            A  muffled  explosion  shook the ship and  the  cabin  lights 
            flickered ...

            becomes a desperate struggle for survival against a nightmar-

            A Nasty Tingle Crept up the Base of Kirk's Neck ...
        
            Spock's  voice  rang  out. "Captain,  bio-scan  readings  are 
            inconsistent with our profiles of the Frenni race."
        
            Instinct,  rather  then thought, moved Kirk  to  action.  His 
            voice  rang out to Engineering. "Mr. Scott, recall the  shut-
            tlecraft."  He edged forward on his seat. "Mr. Sulu,  prepare 
            to raise shields as soon as those ships are back aboard."
        
            "Kirk, what hass happened?" came the bewildered voice of  the 
            alien as the shuttlecraft turned back towards the Enterprise.
        
            Kirk hesitated.
        
            "Captain,  why thees gamess with uss? please hurry,  we  hass 
            injured needssing medical care."
        
            "Captain," Spock said. "Energy output levels in their  engine 
            room are increasing." On the viewscreen, the cruiser began to 
            turn slowly.
        
            Jim felt the soft snap of a trap springing shut. "Scotty, get 
            those shuttles landed! We need to raise shields!"
        
            "Five seconds, Captain."
        
            Kirk chanted the count to himself. "Now, Sulu!"
        
            But  even  as the helmsman moved to obey,  the  Frenni  craft 
            burst into motion, racing straight for the Enterprise.

            They are a race of warriors, a noble people to whom honor  is 
            all. They are cousin to the Vulcan, ally to the Klingon,  and 
            Starfleet's  most feared and cunning adversary. They are  the 
            Romulans  -  and  for eight years,  Federation  Agent  Terise 
            LoBrutto has hidden in their midst.
        
            Now  the presence of a captured Starfleet officer forces  her 
            to  make  a  fateful choice - between  exposure  and  escape. 
            Between  maintaining her cover - and saving the life  of  Dr. 
            Leonard McCoy.
        
            Here,  in  a startlingly different adventure,  is  the  truth 
            behind  one of the most fascinating alien races ever  created 
            in STAR TREK - the Romulans.

            Arrhae broke out all over in cold sweat at the sound of  him. 
            She  was  not wearing a translator, and he  spoke  Federation 
            Standard,  and she understood him, Not that this should  have 
            been strange, of course. Arrhae's composure began to shatter, 
            and  she  kept  walking, steadily, to be well  out  of  sight 
            before it should do so completely.
        
            "I'm  Doctor Leonard E. McCoy," he said, and O  elements,  it 
            was  a  native terran accent from somewhere in the  south  of 
            EnnAy, probably Florida or Georgia. Arrhae made herself  keep 
            walking, without reaction, without any slightest reaction  to 
            the  language she had not heard from another begin for  eight 
            years, and had stopped hearing even in her dreams.

            never  mind that. I don't think this should make any  differ-
            ence at all with them. It not like we're trying to  influence

            The  faint outline of his suit, barely visible in  the  dark-

            those  assembled, said. He turned to the two fighters.  "Con-
            tinue the combat."
        
            The two fighters hefted their weapons again and began moving. 
            Kirk stood still, squarely between them in the center of  the 
            mat.
        
            If  he  didn't get out of their way, they  were  going  right 
            through him.

            Time in the galaxy has stopped running in its normal  course. 
            That  can  mean only one thing - the Guardian of  Forever  is 
            malfunctioning.  To  save  the  universe,  Starfleet  Command 
            reunites three of its most legendary figures - Admiral  James 
            T.  Kirk, Spock of Vulcan, and Dr. Leonard McCoy - and  sends 
            them on a desperate mission to contact the Guardian, a  jour-
            ney  that  ultimately takes them 5,000 years into  the  past. 
            They  must  find Spock's son Zar once again - and  bring  him 
            back  to  their time to telepathically communicate  with  the 
            Guardian.
        
            But  Zar is enmeshed in troubles of his own, and  soon  Kirk, 
            Spock,  and McCoy find themselves in a desperate struggle  to 
            save both their world - and his!

            "THE  PERSON  WHO  COMMUNICATED  WITH  THE  GUARDIAN  WAS  MY

            Admiral Morrow looked at Spock incredulously.
        
            "Your-"  Kirk  doubted  that Morrow could  have  looked  more 
            thunderstruck  if the conference table had come to  life  and 
            danced  a hornpipe. It was a full thirty seconds  before  the 
            admiral  could  speak. "I apologize, Mr. Spock ...  but  your 
            personnel records never ..."
        
            He cleared his throat. "At any rate," Morrow continued,  "the 
            important  thing is that contact was established.  What  your 
            son did once, he may be able to do again. Where is he?"
        
            "I  am afraid that will be impossible, Admiral,"  Spock  said 
            levelly,  but something shadowed the dark eyes for a  moment. 
            "My son has been dead for five thousand years."

            In a remote area of Federation space, the Enterprise picks up 
            an  urgent distress signal - from a Klingon  vessel!  Tracing 
            the  S.O.S.,  the  crew finds  the  Klingon  cruiser  Mauler, 
            trapped  in a dimensional storm of unprecedented  power.  Yet 
            paradoxically,  the ship refuses both the  Enterprise's  call 
            and the offers of help.
        
            Determined  to  discover  what  the  klingons  are  doing  in 
            Federation space, Kirk beams aboard their ship with a securi-
            ty  team, just as the storm flares to its highest  intensity. 
            As  the bridge crew watches in horror, Mauler  vanishes  from 
            the Enterprise's viewscreen.
        
            And James T. Kirk awakens... one hundred years in the future.

            "YOU MUST NOT COUNT ON EVER GOING HOME AGAIN ..."
        
            Kirk gripped his cup tightly and waited.
        
            "You see, Captain - may I call you Jim?" Morith asked.
        
            Kirk nodded impatiently.
        
            "Jim.  You see, Jim, that storm that Mauler  encountered  was 
            apparently  more than just some curious  magnetic-ionic  dis-
            turbance. It was a temporal phenomenon as well," Morith said. 
            His  voice, his face, the very stance of his body  proclaimed 
            how  nervous  he  was. "Mauler was almost  destroyed  by  the 
            storm,  but instead, the ship and all aboard  her,  including 
            you  and  your  security team ... well, you  were  all  flung 
            forward  one hundred years into the future. That's where  you 
            are now."

            The  Sackers. In all Captain James T. Kirk's travels, he  has 
            never  found  a race more universally shunned  and  abhorred. 
            Their  mere  appearance  causes most  Federation  members  to 
            become violently ill.
        
            Now the Sackers have performed a deed whose brutality matches 
            their horrifying exterior. They have a stolen a revolutionary 
            new  scientific  device  - murdering an entire  race  in  the 
            process  -  and  used it to create a rip  in  space,  a  hole 
            through  which  another universe is rapidly  leaking.  Unless 
            Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise can find a way to 
            stop the universe's expansion, it will consume - and  utterly 
            destroy - our own.

            "HELMSMAN, FULL REVERSE!" KIRK SHOUTED ...
        
            "Full reverse." Sulu moved quickly, responding to the urgency 
            in  the captain's voice without understanding the reason  for 
            it.
        
            "Course, Captain?" Chekov sounded puzzled.
        
            "Away  from  ... that!" Kirk gestured toward the  main  view-
            screen, which now was showing streaks of exploding gas in the 
            far  distance.  "Spock  - any chance your  figures  could  be 
            wrong?"
        
            "No, Captain, I've checked them twice. We are now  retreating 
            from  the effects of a primal explosion identical to the  one 
            that gave rise to the universe we are living in."
        
            Kirk didn't like it; he didn't like it at all. "So what we're 
            seeing  is a new universe in the process of being  born,"  he 
            said heavily.

            "WHO ARE YOU - AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY SHIP, MISTER?"
        
            Kirk  kept his voice even, but his hands were clenched  tight 
            at his side.
        
            A Starbase security trooper in full armor blocked the airlock 
            door.  The  trooper  lowered his phaser  rifle  and  saluted. 
            "Lieutenant Abrand, sir. Commodore Wolfe requests your  imme-
            diate presence on the bridge."
        
            "Commodore  Wolfe?  On  my  bridge?"  Kirk  looked  over  the 
            trooper's shoulder. There were more of them in the lock - all 
            armed.  "Where  the  devil is Spock? What's  the  meaning  of 
            this?" If Kirk's eyes had been phasers, the Lieutenant  would 
            have been a dissipating blue mist.
        
            "Commander  Spock is in interrogation, sir.  Commodore  Wolfe 
            will explain."
        
            "You  can be damn sure about that," Kirk said,  pushing  past 
            the startled trooper and through the airlock.

            Uncounted  centuries  ago, an unknown race  from  beyond  our 
            galaxy  created  a series of interstellar gates  -  shortcuts 
            across our universe - and then disappeared, leaving behind no 
            clues to their fate, or the operation of their system.  Twice 
            before,  the Enterprise has used the system to  traverse  the 
            galaxy, and returned each time no wiser to the gates'  opera-
            tion.
        
            Now  it is imperative that they find out. For the  gates  are 
            breaking  down, taking the very stars in the sky  with  them. 
            The  fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of the  Enterprise 
            crew,  and their ability to communicate not only  with  crea-
            tures from another world - but from another universe as well.

            fire on you, but I will! Believe me, I will!"

            everything-"
        
            "But  it is quite logical, Captain Sherbourne,"  Spock  said. 
            "Based  on what we have experienced - what Captain  Kirk  has 
            told  and  shown  you - it would be illogical for  us  to  do 
            otherwise.  We  are the only chance the  Federation  has  for 
            survival."

            consistently voted by the fans as their favorite writer  from 
            the original STAR TREK television series!
        
            D.  C. Fontana, writer of such classic STAR TREK episodes  as 
            "Journey  to Babel" and "This Side of Paradise," here  brings 
            us the never-before-told story of a very young Mr. Spock,  on 
            his  first mission aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. You'll  also 
            meet Captain Cristopher Pike and his enigmatic first  officer 
            "Number One" (previously seen only in the original STAR  TREK 
            pilot "The Cage"). as well as the ship's brand new  engineer-
            ing officer, Montgomery Scott.
        
            VULCAN'S  GLORY is the tale of Spock's struggle to  reconcile 
            his  many  obligations - those forced on him  by  his  Vulcan 
            heritage.  and  those chosen by him upon  his  enlistment  in 
            Starfleet  -  to  balance the wishes of  others  against  the 
            desires of his own heart.

            "YOU  HAVE  A  WAY  OF  ASKING  DIFFICULT  QUESTIONS,"  SPOCK 
            SAID ...
        
            T'Pris nodded, quietly acknowledging the fact. "So my parents 
            said,  and  so said my husband. But now I  am  T'Sai  T'Pris, 
            Aduna Sepei Kiran. For humans, a widow. For Vulcans, free  to 
            choose a new mate." She turned to look directly at him. "Or a 
            lover, That is a difficult question to consider."
        
            "I am betrothed," he said softly.
        
            "But not wed," she said as softly. "Not yet."
        
            Spock studied her for a long moment, considering what he knew 
            of  her,  what he felt for her, the surprising  emotions  she 
            called up in him. And he remembered what he knew of  T'Pring, 
            what he felt for her. The only emotions T'Pring brought forth 
            in him were duty and obligation laid on him by others.
        
            Slowly, he reached out his hand to T'Pris.

            caressed.

            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, on 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  see 
            for himself. Reluctantly, the captain agrees to beam down...
        
            Meanwhile,  the  crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise  begins  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 and  abilities 
            in command of the Enterprise.

            He  walked over to the platform, stood over the being  locked 
            into  it. It was a few moments before its  eyelids  fluttered 
            open.
        
            There  was intelligence in those eyes. And something  else  - 
            something that seemed to hold him captive for a moment.
        
            "Brown," said the android. "Isan't it?"

            Boaco Six - a once-tranquil Federation colony, now caught  up 
            in  the throes of revolution. The Enterprise's  mission:  re-
            establish  contact with the planet, and determine whether  or 
            not  formal ties between the Federation and Boaco Six  should 
            be strengthened.
        
            Negotiations  between  Captain Kirk and the  planet's  ruling 
            Council of Youngers are proceeding smoothly, until the atmos-
            phere of goodwill is shattered by the sudden destruction of a 
            Boacan  ship  -  at the hands of  an  experimental  Starfleet 
            vessel!
        
            Now,  in order to prevent full-scale war from  breaking  out, 
            the Enterprise must recapture the stolen Starfleet vessel and 
            its  abductors.  A mission that will require the aid  of  the 
            galaxy's most reclusive genius - and bring Captain Kirk face-
            to-face with the long-buried secrets of his past...

            AN UGLY WHITE BEAM SHOT OUT OF THE KLINGON SHIP ...
        
            It blasted into the graceful metal arch that held up the  top 
            decks  of  the Enterprise. The bridge shook. It was  a  well-
            aimed shot; Kirk prayed the damage was not severe.
        
            "Shields up!" The captain barked hoarsely. "Drop  everything, 
            Mr.  Scott.  Divert all power if you have to, but  get  those 
            shields up!"
        
            "Aye, sir."

            A freak shuttlecraft accident - and suddenly Captain Kirk and 
            most of his senior officers find themselves adrift in  space, 
            with no hope of rescue, no hope of repairing their craft,  or 
            restoring  communications - with nothing, in short, but  time 
            on their hands.
        
            Time enough for each to tell the story of the Kobayashi  Maru 
            -  the Starfleet Academy test given to command cadets.  Nomi-
            nally  a tactical exercise, the Kobayashi Maru is in  fact  a 
            test  of character revealed in the choices each man  makes  - 
            and does not make.
        
            Discover  now how Starfleet Cadets Kirk, Chekov,  Scotty  and 
            Sulu  each  faced  the Kobayashi Maru...and  became  in  turn 
            Starfleet officers.

            A  sudden  revolution on the planet Dekkanar  brings  Captain 
            Kirk  and the Enterprise running to evacuate Federation  per-
            sonnel  trapped  there. But their orders from  Starfleet  are 
            quite  clear: The Enterprise is to assist in the  evacuation, 
            no  more. No weapons are to be displayed, no shields  raised, 
            no shots fired.
        
            Meanwhile, halfway across the galaxy, an experimental Klingon 
            warship  sets forth on a mission of its own, a  warship  with 
            hidden - and heretofore undreamed of - capabilities, command-
            ed  by a warrior who will stop at nothing to bring  glory  to 
            his Empire - and restore his own lost honor.

            He  watched the Klingon ship Hakkarl heel wildly  across  the 
            screen  as the Enterprise hit a savage combination  break  of 
            yaw,  roll  and  pitch  all at  the  same  time.  It  worked. 
            Hakkarl's  incoming fire seared under and through where  they 
            had been less than a second before.
        
            But  any satisfaction generated by that evasion was  squashed 
            by the way the Klingon snapped around in pursuit.
        
            Whatever impossible maneuver Sulu attempted, Hakkarl  matched 
            and exceeded.
        
            Spock looked up from a monitor with a grave expression on his 
            face. "Captain," he said. "There has been a critical overload 
            in  the  shields,  total failure will  occur  in  fifty-seven 
            seconds,  unless  we  are given respite  from  this  constant 
            battering."
        
            In  other  words, Kirk thought, do something.  Or  we're  all 
            dead.

            Suddenly  the  only hope for the Federation's  survival  lies 
            burried in the tortured memory of Commander Spock's  protege, 
            a cadet named Saavik. Together, Spock and Saavik must  return

            "I REGRET THAT I CANNOT CONCUR ..."
        
            Heads turned. Spock felt the disapproval at his impertinence; 
            it could not be helped.
        
            "Someday these children will seek to know their place in  the 
            Universe. They will need a home-"
        
            "Do  not  presume to speak to us of our  principles,  Spock!" 
            Sarek's voice cut like a knife through the shocked, uncomfta-
            ble  gathering. "Your... dissent... has been noted - and  you 
            will keep your place. This does not concern you."
        
            But  it did. Spock regretted it had come to this. "I am  con-
            strained  to  point out," he said into  the  chilly  silence, 
            "that the Federation Council would agree with my concern. The 
            children of Hellguard require a home."
        
            "You would speak to outworlders of this?" S'tvan, philosopher 
            and  physicist, was on his feet. "You would threaten  disclo-
            sure? Public Humiliation?"
        
            "If  I  must." Simple blackmail. They all stared  at  him  in 
            disbelief; Sarek closed his eyes in shame.

            When  Dr.  McCoy grumbles once too often about  the  way  the

            doctor  in  command while he oversees  a  routine  diplomatic 
            mission.  Kirk  beams  down to  a  strange  planet  nicknamed 
            "Flyspeck"  to negotiate its admission into  the  Federation, 
            leaving Dr. McCoy to enjoy his new authority.
        
            However,  the  doctor soon learns that command is  a  double-
            edged sword when Kirk disappears without a trace. Desperately 
            trying to locate his captain, McCoy comes under pressure from 
            Starfleet  to resolve the situation immediately.  Matters  go 
            from  bad to worse when the Klingons arrive and  stake  their 
            own claim on Flyspeck.

            suddenly, Dr. McCoy and the Enterprise find themselves pitted 
            against  an  alien  fleet in a battle they have  no  hope  of

            "Come  on," Kirk said. "Have a seat. It's nice  and  comfort-
            able;  you can sit here and dictate your report. I'm  leaving 
            you the conn."
        
            McCoy was outraged. "You can't do that."
        
            "Of  course I can," Kirk said. "I can leave anybody with  the 
            conn  that I please, most especially a department head and  a 
            fellow officer. This is Captain's discretion."
        
            "Uh-"
        
            "Get down here."
        
            McCoy  walked down to the center seat, and very slowly,  very 
            gingerly,  lowered himself into it. It was indeed  very  com-
            fortable.
        
            "You  have the conn," Kirk said. "I'll be back at the end  of 
            the shift. Have fun."
        
            "Mnf,"  McCoy said as Kirk walked away, and the bridge  doors 
            closed on him.
        
            I'm going to get him for this, McCoy thought.

            grim.  He gulped and gave the body a quick examination.  "I'm 
            surprised  Security didn't catch the killer in the act;  he's 
            been dead only a few minutes."
        
            "That short a time, how could we have missed him?"
        
            McCoy  simply  shrugged.  "I'll do a  complete  autopsy  when 
            Security is throgh recording the mess, but as a first guess I 
            haven't  got  a clue about what happened  here."  The  doctor 
            shook  his  head in bewildernment. "Those cuts are  deep  and 
            parallel, like giant claw marks - though anything with  claws 
            long  enough  to  do that much damage would have  to  be  one 
            hellaciously big monster."

            A  dispute over a planet and its primitive people leads  Cap-
            tain Kirk and a Klingon Commander to pit their ships  against 
            each other in battle. But the fight is stopped by a  mysteri-
            ous  and powerful alien being named Weyland, who  decides  to 
            punish  three Enterprise crewmembers with their own  history. 
            He  places  Sulu  in feudal Japan during  the  period's  most 
            important  and bloody power struggle, Scotty in 18th  Century 
            Scotland on the eve of revolt, and Chekov in WWII Russia.
        
            Now, the three time travellers must face overwhelming dangers 
            as they are pulled by conflicting forces: Their allegiance to 
            their homelands, their duty to the Federation they serve, and 
            the demands of history.

            LT. PAVEL CHEKOV AND JOHN C. KIRK FACED THE FIRING SQUAD ...
        
            The  Nazi SS man smiled into Chekov's face, his  jaw  jutting 
            outward in a cocky grin. "Do you have any final words?" asked 
            the SS man.
        
            Chekov smiled, inwardly pleased at his composure during  what 
            were  undoubtedly his last moments on earth. "Your Fuhrer  is 
            going  to kill himself, and your precious Reich is  going  to 
            stand as a symbol of all that's vile," he said evenly.
        
            The  Nazi  shoved  them against the wall  and  stepped  away. 
            Chekov took his place next to Kirk as the American  muttered, 
            "Don't worry."
        
            "No?"
        
            "No."  Kirk  showed the hint of a smile. "I'm  working  on  a 
            plan."
        
            Chekov looked at the firing squad before them, raising  their 
            rifles and taking dead aim.

            Elcidar Beta Three - a tranquil, undisturbed planet strategi-
            cally  located between the Federation and the Klngon  Empire. 
            Home  to  the Midgwins, a race of people who  throughout  all 
            time  have lived in peace with their planet, and  themselves. 
            But now, times are changing. Unwilling to embrace any form of 
            technology, the Midgwins have exhausted their world's natural 
            resources, and stand on the brink of global famine.
        
            When Captain Kirk and the Enterprise arrive to aid the  Midg-
            wins, they find themselves caught up in that race's  struggle 
            for  survival...a struggle whose climactic battle  pits  them 
            against creature of darkness and shadow - an entity who roams 
            the  Enterprise corridors as if it owned them - an  enemy  wo 
            will not hesitate to kill to achieve its ultimate goal...

            Spock's  reflexes  were quick. Even as he  turned,  his  mind 
            groped  at  the anomaly, the sense that there  couldn't  have 
            been  anyone in his quarters when he came in, dim though  the 
            lighting  was,  for his acute hearing would  have  picked  up 
            breathing,  the  creat  of boot leather,  the  thousand  soft

            It  has  been eighteen months since the  Starship  Enterprise 
            completed  her historic five-year mission and  her  legendary 
            crew  has  separated, taking news assignments that  span  the 
            galaxy.
        
            On Earth, Admiral James T. Kirk has married and started a new 
            life  as the Chief of Starfleet operations where he is  over-
            seeing the refit of his beloved ship, now commanded by a  new 
            Captain  -  Willard  Decker. Kirk's only tie  to  his  former 
            crew-mates is his Chief of Staff, a young Lieutenant Command-
            er named Kevin Riley.
        
            But Kirk's new, quiet life changes when he meets a  scientist 
            named  G'dath  who is on the brink of  perhaps  the  greatest 
            scientific  discovery in a century. G'dath's invention  could 
            mean  tremendous strides in Federation technology, or in  the 
            wrong hands - the subjugation of countless worlds.
        
            When Klingon agents capture this new technology, Admiral Kirk 
            and Lt. Commander Riley are all that stands between peace and 
            a devastation for the entire Federation.

            "ZERO," LT. COMMANDER KEVIN RILEY SAID AT LAST.
        
            Full  thrusters help, Admiral Kirk thought to himself  as  he 
            watched  the  launch from the roof of the  Admiralty.  For  a 
            moment, Kirk's hand closed, as if he were grasping the arm of 
            a chair.
        
            The  command section of the Enterprise lifted vertically  and 
            ever  so slowly from the ground, its landing  legs  retracted 
            smoothly into the shell, shaking the dust of earth from their 
            pads. The saucer continued rising.
        
            And  for  the first time in half a year, the  Enterprise  was 
            under way, once again a creature that lived in the sky.

            For  nearly  a  hundred years, the planet  Chrellkan  IV  has 
            enjoyed a peaceful relationship with the colony on the  third 
            planet of its star system. However, relations between the two 
            worlds  take  a  deadly turn as  rebel  colonists  take  over 
            Chrellkan III and turn against their mother world.
        
            To prevent the conflict from escalating into full-scale  war, 
            Starfleet orders Captain Kirk and the Enterprise to  moderate 
            the dispute. On arrival, Kirk sends Spock and McCoy to inves-
            tigate  the rebel's claims. But seconds after  beaming  down, 
            the  two officers are taken hostage and then -  according  to

            learn  the  truth behind the mysterious  rebellion  that  has 
            claimed the lives of his two closest friends.
        
            Kirk's  investigation leads him to uncover a  dangerous  plot 
            against  the Federation - a plot driven by revenge  that  may 
            make  the Federation's highest law, the Prime  Directive,  an 
            instrument of violence and destruction.

            ture  and  Kirk's landing party is trapped underground  by  a

            At  Beta Cabrini, the U.S.S. Enterprise faces off  against  a

            takes  command of the ship. Soon Spock and Dreen  are  locked 
            into  a deadly game of cat and mouse - a game driven  by  mad 
            revenge that can have only one survivor!

            SPOCK WAS IN THE GRIP OF SOME TERRIBLE CONVULSION ...
        
            He  looked  flushed - feverish - his eyes wide.  And  he  was 
            breathing  much too quickly, as evidenced by the  rapid  rise 
            and  fall of his chest. The captain had expected  some  frac-
            tured ribs, maybe internal bleeding, but not this.
        
            "Bones," Kirk breathed, "What's happening to him?"

            some  kind  of  poison I can't  identify.  It's  accelerating 
            Spock's vital processes."
        
            Abruptly, the captain flashed back to the sight of the  crea-
            ture's tentacle brushing Spock's shoulder. He cursed, drawing 
            McCoy's attention. "Bones, I saw the thing touch him with one 
            of  its tentacles... there..." He pointed to the juncture  of 
            Spock's neck and shoulder.
        
            Pulling  the  material of the first officer's  tunic  asside, 
            McCoy  exposed  three tiny puncture marks, still  green  with

            Every thirty-three years, a rift in space connects the Feder-
            ation with a mysterious race called the Calligar who live  on 
            a  planet  hundreds  of light years away - much  too  far  to 
            travel in a Starship. Captain Kirk and the U.S.S.  Enterprise 
            are dispatched to transport a Federation delegation of diplo-
            mats,  scholars  and scientists who will travel  to  Calligar 
            directly during the brief period of time  that the rift  will 
            be open.
        
            Mr. Spock leads the Federation party as they travel by  shut-
            tle through the rift just as a group of the aliens arrives in 
            Federation space. The meetings go smoothly until the Calligar 
            take Spock's party hostage and Kirk discovers that the aliens 
            are  keeping a deadly secret. With angry Tellarite and  Ando-
            rain fleets ready to attack the Caligar, Kirk must save Spock 
            and the others before war breaks out and the rift closes  for 
            another fifty years.

            En  route to Alpha Malurian Six to settle a  dispute  between 
            two  religions, the U. S. S. Enterprise first stops to  do  a 
            routine  check  on the progress of a terraforming  colony  on 
            Beta  Canzandia  Three - a colony whose  inhabitants  include 
            Carol and David Marcus.
        
            While  Spock  is left behind at the  terraforming  colony  to 
            continue  his scientific studies, the rest of the crew  heads 
            to Alpha Malurian Six to find the dispute has turned to war.
        
            As  Kirk, McCoy, and Scotty search for a solution to end  the 
            conflict, a ship piloted by a Klingon faction arrives at  the 
            terraforming  colony  to take control of the  facility.  When 
            colonists  are  imprisoned, Spock and David must  defeat  the 
            Klingons or face certain death...

            "WHAT'S YOUR LAST NAME, SON?"
        
            For the first time since they'd come in, David looked to  his 
            mother.  He seemed confused. Carol Marcus pattend him on  the 
            shoulder.  "Would you excuse us a moment? I have  to  discuss 
            something with Dr. McCoy."
        
            As the doors shooshed closed behind the boy, she returned the 
            doctor's  scrutiny. There was a decidedly no-nonense cast  to 
            her  features  - something Bones would have  called  defiance 
            under different circumstances.
        
            "Dr.  McCoy,"  she bagan, lifting her chin  slightly,  almost 
            exactly the way the boy had earlier. "A long time ago, I knew 
            Jim Kirk quite well."
        
            He nodded. "The captain has mentioned you once or twice, But-
            "
        
            "He  doesn't know about David," she interrupted. "And I  want 
            to keep it that way."
        
            Suddenly all the pieces fell into place. McCoy cyrsed softly.
        
            "You understand what I'm saying," she observed.
        
            "You're damnn right I do," he said. "That boy is Jim's son."

            Gamma  Xaridian - a peaceful Federation research colony  that 
            becomes the third Federation world to suffer a brutal  attack 
            at the hands of a mysterious alien fleet. With Lt. Uhura gone 
            on  an  important mission of her own, Captain  Kirk  and  the 
            U.S.S. Enterprise are dispatched to investigate the  attacks, 
            only to find the planets compleately devastated.
        
            When another nearby colony is attacked, the U.S.S. Enterprise 
            is  ready and encounters a fleet of quick, small  and  deadly 
            ships.  Though Kirk and his crew manage to turn  the  raiders 
            away,  the  U.S.S.  Enterprise is severely  damaged  and  the 
            aliens escape.
        
            As  Kirk and his crew prepare for their next  encounter  with 
            the raiders, Mr. Spock makes a startling discovery about  the 
            purpose  behind  the  alien  attacks -  a  purpose  that,  if 
            realized,  could have deadly consequences for the  Federation 
            and the U.S.S. Enterprise...

            "Starboard  shields  buckling," the Vulcan  continued.  "Port

            Drop forward shields; prepare for warp speed."
        
            "What?"  Chekov exclaimed. "Captain, even minimal  warp  will 
            kick  us right out of the system! And with no shields,  we'll 
            be defenseless."
        
            "Ensign,  you're relieved," said Kirk sharply. "Palmer,  take

            history.  His crew included an untried first officer - and  a 
            maverick ship's surgeon. In the years to come the voyages  of 
            Captain James T. Kirk and the U.S.S. Enterprise would  become 
            legend.
        
            But before their historic five-year mission began, before the 
            crew  meshed into the superb unit that would  journey  across 
            the  galaxy,  before  the legend took shape.  there  was  the 
            mission that brought them together for the first time.
        
            Here,  at  last, is that untold story - the first  voyage  of

            From  the moment James T. Kirk steps aboard the Enterprise  - 
            the youngest captain in Starfleet's history - things begin to 
            go  wrong. His Vulcan science officer, Mr.  Spock,  considers 
            Kirk  impetuous;  the  ship's chief engineer  thinks  him  an 
            inexperienced young hotshot; his chief medical officer hasn't 
            bothered to show up yet; and the new helmsman would rather be 
            somewhere else entirely. To top it all off, Starfleet Command 
            has  assigned the Enterprise a disappointingly tame task:  to 
            ferry  a troupe of vaudeville performers on a  morale-raising 
            mission to Federation starbases - in short, a USO tour.
        
            Then  the  largest spacecraft anyone has ever  seen  suddenly 
            appears  in the ship's flight path...and on their first  mis-
            sion together, Kirk and the entire Enterprise crew are facing 
            what could truly be mankind's final frontier....

            an  alien spacecraft crashlands in the South Pacific  bearing

            it has simply plummeted like a stone into a pond and that was 
            the end of it.

            long,  considered look at the aliens and reporting our  find-
            ings to Command. Command then decided if Earth is ready - for 
            the  first time and for an absolute certainty - to know  that 
            such aliens exist."

            April  murmured. "Think of it, George. A way to turn a  four-
            month  journey into a three-week epic triumph in the name  of 
            life. Think of it."
        
            George  moved around to face him, to force April to  look  at 
            him. "Why all the cloak and dagger, then? Why didn't you just 
            ask me?"
        
            "Couldn't take the chance, old boy."
        
            "Why?" George pressed.
        
            April  stepped  closer to the helm, placed his hands  on  the 
            console, and looked out, upward, at the looming spacedock. He 
            nodded, out, up. "That's why."
        
            Soft lights from the spacedock played in his eyes.
        
            George stepped close, leaned over the console and looked out. 
            The lights bathed his ruddy cheeks and drew him onward,  into 
            astonishment.
        
            "My God, Robert..." he whispered. "What is that?"

            Trekkers  alike have been captivated by the alien  Mr.  Spock 
            and his enigmatic home planet Vulcan. Now, for the first time 
            anywhere,  here is an in-depth look at the secret history  of 
            both.
        
            In  is  the  twenty-third century. On the  planet  Vulcan,  a 
            crisis of unprecedented proportion has caused the convocation 
            of  the  planet's  ruling council - and  summons  the  U.S.S. 
            Enterprise from halfway across the galaxy, to bring  Vulcan's 
            most famous son home in its hour of need. As Commander Spock, 
            his  father Sarek and Captain James T. Kirk struggle to  pre-
            serve  the very future of the Federation, the  innermost  se-
            crets  of  the  planet Vulcan are laid before  us,  from  its 
            beginnings  millions of years ago to its savage  pre-history, 
            from  merciless  tribal warfare to medieval  court  intrigue, 
            from the exploration of space to the development of c'thia  - 
            the ruling ethic of logic. And Spock torn between his duty to 
            Starfleet and the unbreakable ties that bind him to Vulcan  - 
            must find a way to reconcile both his own inner conflict  and 
            the  external dilemma his planet faces...lest the  Federation 
            itself be ripped asunder.

            THE MISSING CHAPTER IN STAR TREK HISTORY - REVEALED AT LAST!
        
        Front Inside Cover Text:
        
            What  exactly happened to the crew of the  U.S.S.  Enterprise 
            after  the end of their five year mission? How did that  mis-
            sion end? What did they do before they were reunited for  the 
            STAR  TREK   films?  Even  the casual  STAR  TREK  fan  finds 
            him/herself asking these questions from time to time...
        
            Here at last, is the book that provides the answers to  those 
            questions - a book as anticipated, in its own way, as SPOCK'S 
            WORLD  was and one that promises to equal its New York  Times 
            bestseller success.
        
            THE LOST YEARS tells the story of Captain Kirk's final  hours 
            in  command of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and how he, Mr.  Spock, 
            and Dr. McCoy struggle to establish new lives apart from each 
            other  and  the starship. We see the newly  promoted  Admiral 
            Kirk, in charge of a specially-created Starfleet division, as 
            he  attempts  to  defuse a critical  hostage  situation;  Mr. 
            Spock,  who in the midst of a teaching assignment on  Vulcan, 
            finds  the one thing he least expected; and Dr. McCoy,  whose 
            unerring  instinct for trouble lands him smack in the  middle 
            of   an   incident  that  could   trigger   an   interstellar 
            bloodbath...
        
            In THE LOST YEARS, J. M. Dillard, author of the STAR TREK  V: 
            THE FINAL FRONTIER novelization, has written her best book to 
            date - and has bridged a gap in STAR TREK history in a manner 
            sure to excite and delight STAR TREK fans everywhere.

            "As  of this day, you are relieved of your command,  stripped

            Starfleet's  highest  law has been broken. Its  most  honored 
            captain  is  in  disgrace, its most  celebrated  starship  in 
            pieces,  and the crew of that ship scattered among the  thou-

            Thus  begins PRIME DIRECTIVE, an epic tale of the  STAR  TREK

            LOST YEARS, both major New York Times hardcover  bestsellers, 
            Judith  and Garfield Reeves-Stevens have crafted a  thrilling 
            tale of mystery and wonder, a novel that takes the STAR  TREK 
            characters  from the depths of despair into  an  electrifying 
            new adventure that spans the galaxy.
        
            Journey  with Spock, McCoy, and the rest of the  former  crew 
            of the starship Enterprise to Talin - the planet where  their 
            careers  ended. A world once teeming with life that now  lies 
            ruined.  It's cities turned to ashes, its surface  devastated 
            by a radioactive firestorm - because of their actions. There, 
            they  must find out how - and why - this tragedy  occurred... 
            and discover what has become of their captain.

            STAR TREK - a vision of humanity's future that has captivated 
            audiences  worldwide for a quarter century.  Those  audiences 
            made  SPOCK'S  WORLD and THE LOST YEARS, the first  two  STAR 
            TREK  hardcover novels, nationwide bestsellers - and  flocked 
            to by the millions to see STAR TREK IV: THE VORAGE HOME,  the 
            most popular of all the STAR TREK motion pictures.
        
            Here  now is PROBE - an epic length novel that at last  picks 
            up  the story of the USS Enterprise and her crew  where  STAR 
            TREK IV left off. A novel that reveals the secrets behind the 
            mysterious  probe  that almost destroyed Earth  -  and  whose 
            reappearance  now  sends Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock,  and  their 
            shipmates   hurtling   into   unparalleled   danger...    and 
            unsurpassed discovery.
        
            Winds of change are sweeping the galaxy. The Romulan  Praetor 
            is  dead,  and with his passing, the Empire he  ruled  is  in 
            chaos.  Now,  on a small planet in the heart of  the  Neutral 
            Zone, representatives of the United Federation of Planets and 
            the Empire have gathered to discuss initiating an era of true 
            peace....
        
            But  the talks are disrupted by a sudden defection -  and  as 
            accusations  of  betrayal  and  treachery  swirl  around  the 
            conference table, news of the probe's reappearance in Romulan 
            space arrives, And the Enterprise crew find themselves headed 
            for  a final confrontation with not only the probe - but  the 
            Romulan Empire.

        * - Margaret Wander Bonanno has disclaimed ownership to this
            novel because of the changes imposed by the powers-that-be 
            and the  "editing" done by Pocket Books to "bring her novel 
            into line." This book is still credited to her because she
            wrote the origional novel.

            The planet Nimbus III. A desolate, forbidding world, situated 
            in  the heart of the Neutral Zone. Unremarkable,  except  for 
            one thing: Nimbus III is the site of an unprecedented attempt 
            at  cooperation among the galaxy's three major powers.  Here, 
            to  this "Planet of Galactic Peace", the Klingons, the  Romu-
            lans,  and the Federation have all sent ambassadors, who  are 
            working together to develop the planet - an experiment  that, 
            if  it  succeeds, could transform  the  galactic  balance-of-
            power.
        
            But  now  terrorists have seized control of Nimbus  III.  And 
            when  Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise  attempt  a 
            dramatic rescue, they discover a threat unlike any they  have 
            ever  faced.  A threat that will force them to  confront  the 
            inner  demons of their own, secret pasts - and the  forbidden

            Starfleet had apparently made up its mind; Kirk yielded,  but 
            not graciously. "Very well, Admiral. Go ahead."
        
            "Your  orders  are  to proceed to Nimbus  Three,  assess  the 
            situation, and avoid confrontation if at all possible.  Above 
            all you've got to get those hostages out safely."

            gons? Have they reacted?"
        
            "No, but you can bet they will."
        
            "Klingons  don't  negotiate,"  Jim  said.  "They  annihilate. 
            They're liable to blow up the hostages just for the chance to 
            revenge themselves on the kidnapers."

            THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY
        
            Stardate  8679.25:  Internal  pressures,  enourmous  military 
            expenditures,  and  the destruction of their  primary  energy 
            source have brought the Klingon Empire to the verge of catas-
            trophic collapse...
        
            To  avert  disaster, Gorkon, Chancellor of the  Klingon  High 
            Council,  proposes  negotiations between the  Federation  and 
            Klingon  Empire - negotiations that will put and end  to  the 
            years  of hostility between the two powers, and herald a  new 
            era of peace and co-operation. Captain James T. Kirk and  the 
            U.S.S.  Enterprise  are dispatched to escort  the  Chancellor 
            safely into Federation space.
        
            But  a  treacherous  assasination brings  negotiations  to  a 
            sudden  halt - and places Kirk and Dr. McCoy in the hands  of 
            the Federation's greatest enemy. With time running out, Spock 
            and  the  Enterprise  crew must work to  uncover  the  deadly 
            secret  that  threatens to propel the galaxy  into  the  most 
            destructive conflict it has ever known!

            THE PHOTON TORPEDO STRUCK THE KLINGON FLAGSHIP WITH DAZZLING, 
            WHITE HOT FORCE.
        
            "We have fired on the chancellor's ship," Spock stated heavi-
            ly.
        
            Kirk wheeled, his expression stunned. "Uhura, monitor! Chekov 
            find out what's going on in weapons!"
        
            A  second  torpedo  flared at the botom corner  of  the  main 
            viewscreen.
        
            "Who's  doing that?" Kirk cried as it hurtled at  the  battle 
            cruiser.
        
            "The Klingon ship's hull has been breached," Spock  reported. 
            "They  have lost gravity and are slowly losing life  support. 
            Damage  to the vessel is severe." He straightened  and  faced 
            his captain. "Jim, they never even raised their shields."
