Publisher Description
Internal pressures, enormous military expenditures, and the destruction of their primary energy source have brought the Klingon Empire to the verge of catastrophic collapse.
To avert disaster, Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, proposes negotiations between the Federation and Klingon Empire, negotiations that will put an end to the years of hostility between the two powers, and herald a new era of peace and cooperation. Captain James T. Kirk and the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM are dispatched to escort the Chancellor safely into Federation space.
But a treacherous assassination 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 work to uncover the deadly secret that threatens to propel the galaxy into the most destructive conflict it has ever known.

"I find it interesting that in the novelization (which is often based on the first version of the script), the Spock/Valeris mind-meld is very different; a gesture of gallantry instead of a brutal rape. I wonder who made the decision to change it in the film."

" Dillard mostly sticks to the screenplay with this one - though he adds some fun touches such as referencing the classic Star Trek episodes and throwing in Carol Marcus, Korrd and Pardek. It's a pretty good book. "

" Far better than the movie. That's not saying much, but at least it's readable? "

" It's hard for me really to rate the movie tie-in books. I didn't think this movie was particularly good, so that may color my judgement on the book. It was certainly a decent read. "
