Summary
Edit
- From the book jacket
- From 1998 to 2000, Amazing Stories, the world's oldest science fiction magazine, presented a series of original Star Trek stories written by a number of bestselling authors. Now these little-seen Star Trek adventures have been collected together for the first time, along with brand-new tales written expressly for this volume!
- Among the highlights:
- Spock comes to terms with the death of his father in a touching tale penned by A.C. Crispin, bestselling author of Sarek.
- Counselor Deanna Troi risks everything to aid the evacuation of an endangered planet.
- Seven of Nine learns a lesson in humanity when the Starship USS Voyager takes on some unusual alien visitors.
- Beverly Crusher discovers that holographic doctors take some getting used to, especially during a medical emergency.
- Plus, Captain Proton, Defender of the Earth, must face the awesome menace of... the Space Vortex of Doom!
- Proving that amazing things sometimes come in small packages, these and other slices of the vast Star Trek universe provide a replicator's worth of treats for Trekkers everywhere!
