reviewed on + 18 more book reviews


For almost three decades, William Shanter has portrayed Star Trek's most dynamic hero - Captain Jampes Tiberius Kirk, gallant commander of the legendary Starship Enterprise and her crew. Now William Shatner brings his unique blend of talents as actor, writer, director, and producer, to tell the story only he can, of Captain Kirk's greatest adventure....

The time: six months prior to the launch of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-B and the tragic loss of Captain James T Kirk in deep space. The place: Earth, where the galazy's most renowned hero must now face the specter of retirement and a alife devoid of challenge and excitement.

But in the apparent twilight of his career, Kirk's path takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious young woman offers him an irresistible adventure - a perilous voyage to an uncharted planet where he will confront the ultimate threat to the fragile peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, and the ultimate temptation-a change to recapture his youth.
