Dr. Leonard McCoy confront his past and the wife he left behind!

Shadows on the Sun is set during the TOS Movie era, just after Star Trek: First Contact, as the ship is returning to Earth to be decomissioned but is ordered to make a short detour. This is a McCoy story that fleshes out his backstory, including looking at one of his earliest assignments.

Summary

From the book jacket
As a young doctor with a beautiful family and a promising medical career, Dr. Leonard McCoy thought he had it all. But when the woman he loved betrayed him, McCoy fled to Starfleet, hoping to lose his pain in the depths of space. Now, more than forty years later, the Enterprise and her crew are ordered to transport a group of mediators to the planet Susan, a world where assassination is a time-honored tradition, and McCoy is surprised to learn that his ex-wife, now remarried, is one of the mediators. And before he can come to terms with his conflicted feelings for his former love, she and Captain Kirk are trapped on Susan, and McCoy is caught in an explosive civil war, the only one with the power to save the woman who once nearly destroyed him.
