Kirk squares off against the Klingons - in a battle he cannot win!
Summary
- From the book jacket
- A sudden revolution on the planet Dekkanar brings Captain Kirk and the U.S.S. USS Enterprise running to evacuate Federation personnel trapped there. But their orders from Starfleet are quite clear; the U.S.S. Enterprise is to assist in the evacuation, no more. No weapons are to be displayed, no shields raised, no shots fired.
- Meanwhile, halfway across the galaxy, an experimental Klingon warship sets forth on a mission of its own, a warship with hidden -- and heretofore undreamed of -- capabilities, commanded by a warrior who will stop at nothing to bring glory to his Empire -- and restore his own lost honor.
- The Klingon ship's destination? The planet Dekkanar...
