Sand and Stars (With: Diane Duane)

Vulcan: linchpin member of the United Federation of Planets. Home to a civilization dedicated to o’thia, the ruling ethic of pure logic. But it was not always so; thousands of years before, Vulcans were a violent, warlike race, with tempers surpassed only by the planet’s hot, arid sands. The philosopher Surak would show his people another way, teach them to reject their emotions and embrace logic and knowledge. The Vulcans would evolve and prosper, eventually exploring the stars and attaining further enlightenment as they encountered other cultures. In the twenty third century, Commander Spock, Captain Kirk, and the U.S.S. Enterprise are summoned to Vulcan when its people consider seceding from the Federation and returning to their isolationist ways. Vulcan’s savage history becomes fully revealed as Spock, his father Sarek, and Kirk work to preserve the planet’s future from anti Terran factions with hidden agendas. The crisis is twofold for the half human Spock should Vulcan secede, he will be required to resign from Starfleet and return home, or forever sever ties with his homeworld. Years later, a decades old plot to destroy the Federation from within forces Ambassador Sarek from the bedside of his dying wife, Amanda. The ambassador’s decision widens the long standing rift between himself and Spock at a time when they must pool their resources together. While the Enterprise crew contends with Romulans, Klingons, and the mysterious Freelans, Sarek’s only comfort comes from reading Amanda’s journals, which reveal more about his human spouse, his son, and himself than he ever realized.

The Case of the Colonist’s Corpse (By:)

When Captain Kirk faced court martial, he chose the best lawyer in the Federation Samuel T. Cogley, a cranky old man who prefers books to padds and people to computers.

Now, once again, it’s SAM COGLEY FOR THE DEFENSE!

The planet Aneher II sits in the middle of the Neutral Zone, and neither the Klingon Empire nor the Federation can claim it. Under the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty, any such contested colony world will go to the party Federation or Klingon which shows it can best develop the planet.

or the secrets that consumed him.

From the embers of his early childhood among Earth’s blossoming interstellar colonies, to the terrifying conflagration that led him back to the world of his birth; from the mentor who would ignite young Chris’s desire to return to the stars, to the career he blazed in Starfleet that would end in supreme sacrifice the path of Pike’s astonishing life leads through fire again and again. But even amid the ashes of Talos IV, the forbidden world on which he would live out the remainder of his days, the dreams smoldering still within his aging, radiation ravaged breast fan the flames of Pike’s spirit to accomplish one final task…

Troublesome Minds (By:Dave Galanter)

First contact becomes an interstellar incident when the Starship Enterprise responds to a distress call from an unknown ship and saves the life of a man left to die by his own people. Berlis, member of a telepathic species calling themselves the Isitri, claims not to know why those from his homeworld want him dead. Captain James T. Kirk wants to believe him, but the damage is done: the Enterprise can neither leave the stranger to die nor turn him over to those who would kill him.

Berlis seems harmless, but his people say he cannot live among them: his telepathy is so strong that their wills are subsumed to his. The same fear that compels the Isitri to seek the death of one of their own drives the neighboring Odib people toward genocide. For every time a ‘troublesome mind’ dominates the Isitri, the Odib pay the price in their own blood.

With Spock becoming erratic under Berlis’s influence, and the Isitri begging Kirk to allow them to destroy the man who threatens their existence, matters take a disastrous turn when Berlis makes his way back to Isitra…
and an entire world falls to his whims.

That Which Divides (By:Dayton Ward)

Located in an area of non aligned space near Federation and Romulan territory, the Kondaii system is home to a unique stellar phenomenon: a spatial rift that opens every three years in proximity to the system’s sole inhabited planet. Only during this brief period is communication possible with the small, mineral rich planetoid inside the rift. The local population has established a mining colony on this planetoid, and for the limited du ration that the rift is open, a massive interplanetary operation is set into motion: ferrying mineral ore to the home planet while simultaneously transferring personnel and replenishing essential supplies and equipment everything necessary to sustain the colony before it once again enters forced isolation. While studying the rift, the science vessel U.S.S. Huang Zhong is severely damaged and crash lands on the planetoid. After the Starship Enterprise arrives to conduct rescue operations, evidence quickly points to the rift s artificial nature. It is a feat far beyond the capacity of the local inhabitants, and presents an alluring mystery for Captain James T. Kirk and his crew. It also attracts the attention of the Romulans, who are most interested in studying and perhaps seizing this supposed advanced technology by any means necessary.
