Publisher Description
Although Kirk appeared to perish at the conclusion of Star Trek® Generations™, the big national bestseller, The Return, revealed the amazing story of Kirk's resurrection. Now, William Shatner brings his distinctive blend of talents as an actor, writer, director, and producer to continue the saga of Jim Kirk's second life -- and to reunite one of the greatest teams of any future century...STAR TREK: AVENGER.
A lethal virogen, inimical to all conventional forms of planet life, threatens the entire Federation with starvation and dissolution. In this moment of Starfleet's greatest need, Captain James T. Kirk, long believed dead, embarks on a desperate quest to find the true source of the mysterious virogen.
Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ambassador Spock, his diplomatic efforts stalled by the spread of famine and chaos, returns to his native world of vulcan to confront a mystery of a deeply personal nature -- an investigation that soon leads him to a reunion with a long-lost friend he never expected to see again. Kirk and Spock, together again, must join forces to save a new generation from an awesome menace unleashed by a ruthless interplanetary conspiracy.
Full of high adventure and powerful drama, STAR TREK: AVENGER is an engrossing new Star Trek epic -- and a moving tale of past memories and new hope that only WIlliam Shatner could tell.

"Avenger focuses a bit too much on plot and structure over characterization and substance. It's a DAMN entertaining and well written book, though."

" Kind of a strange tale to weave Kirk into...planets dying of some weird plant plague? "
— Benjamin, 1/27/2013 -
" Good story and I like that it had Kirk and Spock back together. Still the Shatnerverse is centered around you know who---Kirk. "

" Part of the William Shatner series extending the plotlines and plugging gaps between the various TV series. Not a bad read, but you have to be a real afficionado to follow all the references. "
