Summary

From the book jacket
The novel begins after the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, is dying, and Spock returns to the planet Vulcan where he and Sarek enjoy a rare moment of reapproachment. But just as his wife's illness grows worse, duty calls Sarek away---once again sowing the seeds of conflict between father and son. Yet soon Sarek and Spock must put aside their differences and work together to foil a far-reaching plot to destroy the Federation---a plot that Sarek as seen in the making for nearly his entire carreer.
The epic story will take the crew of the USS Enterprise to the heart of the Klingon Empire where Captain Kirk's last sruviving relative has become a pawn in a battle to divide the Federation... and conquer it. With Sarek's help, the crew of the Starship Enterprise learns that all is not as it seems. Before they can prevent the Federation's destruction, they must see the face of their hidden enemy---an enemy more insidious and more dangerous than any they have faced before...

FURTHER SUMMARY

Background Information

  • The plot based on Star Trek VI seems to be included much later, the references to Star Trek III are dated as three years in the past, but with the correct years given in Amanda's diary entries (2285 and 2293).
  • The Keep Earth Human League mentioned in this book is somewhat similar to the Terra Prime organization featured on Star Trek: Enterprise.
