Publisher Description

James T. Kirk is the youngest man to be promoted to the rank of captain in Federation history. His crew consists of a first officer who finds him impetuous; a chief engineer who finds him arrogent; a chief medical officer who finds him trifling; and a helmsman who wants a transfer.

But the young crew, which would later become the legendary space explorers, quickly puts aside their differences when a monstrous starship appears on their nascent flight path.

"This was not the greatest stand alone book, but was enjoyable if you like the original Star Trek series, which I do. It gives a fun beginning to the original crew of the Enterprise, and sticks well to the developed personalities of the original crew. "

    " Very difficult to get started with but it picks up once the ship goes out on its first mission. Still a slightly unsatisfying finale after all the character build up they did for the villain. "

    " As a kid, this was one of my favourite books. After re-reading it as an adult, I found it to be fairly idiotic. Weak plot, weak writing, weak connections... I still have wonderful childhood memories of it, so I would say that it is great for a younger audience and leave it at that. "

    " Solid all around. And it offers a handful of options for spinoffs. McIntyre has as good a handle on the Star Trek universe as any of the writers in the phalanx. "
