== Background information ==
* George Truett is credited with the abridging for the audio version.
* The hardback edition has a "Behind-the-scenes" section, pp.241-280, written by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens.
* The hardback edition was based on the original cut of the film, in which Kirk's death was fundamentally different. The alteration of the ending – after focus group screenings – came too late to be reflected in the novelization. The audio version – read by John de Lancie – was adapted from this edition, and so also contains the original ending. The subsequent paperback edition has a newly rewritten chapter that more accurately reflects that event of the film.
* The novelization features Spock, McCoy, Uhura, and Chekov in scenes set in the prologue in 2293.
* Although there's no mention of it in the movie, one moment in the novel while Kirk is standing on the bridge on Veridian III preparing to jump across, he has a moment and thinks "I wonder if Spock's still alive…"
