Plot Summary
From the book jacket:
- As James T. Kirk prepares to retire from a long and illustrious Starfleet career, events in a distant part of the Federation draw him back to a part of the galaxy he had last visited as a young man--a mysterious world called Faramond whose name takes Kirk on a journey back to his youth.
- At sixteen, Kirk is troubled, estranged from his father and has a bleak future. However, a trip into space with Kirk's father George and Starfleet legend Captain Robert April changes James' life forever, when a simple voyage aboard the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 becomes a deadly trap. Soon, Kirk and father find themselves fighting a vicious and powerful enemy.
- Before the voyage ends, father and son will face life and death together, and James T. Kirk will get a glimpse of the future and his own best destiny.
