Clearly one of the better Star Trek™ novels. It starts out with an explosion on Centaurus and goes quickly into the history of the meeting between Kirk and McCoy. After that it's a race to see who will get the terrorists who exploded the bomb. I especially like the part when Kirk goes to his cabin and is surrounded by hostile forces. The only bad part was Ferguson had the Enterprise™ going into the atmosphere. Every good fan know the starship cannot go into the atmosphere. Other than that a great story with a great ending. A must read!
