Synopsis: The Enterprise has been on patrol too long -- the crew is restless and irritable especially that Dr. McCoy, the engines are straining, and food is running low. But Captain Kirk is under sealed orders to head to the far away Horatius system to answer a mysterious distress call from some decidedly anti-Federation colonists. When our intrepid crew tries to help, they run afoul of stone-age creeps, drugged fanatics, and oppressed clones. To make matters worse, they face a moral conflict with Federation General Order One, the so-called Prime Directive, which mandates noninterference with native cultures.

This book was originally intended for young readers.

  Synopsis: On a routine diplomatic mission to Starfleey Academy, our sensors detected the presence of a rogue planet in space, orbited by a sun no larger than a pea - a circumstance impossible to explain by any known scientific law. Assuming the star to be an artificial construct, a landing party was dispatched to the planet's surface, where I am now recording this log: where we are now trapped. Two of my crewman are dead, victims of this savage planet Spock has named Anomaly, a planet where none of our equipment works and none of our science applies... a planet that cannot exist.

  Synopsis: While investigating rumors of renewed activity by the Klingon Empire within the Galactic Core, the Enterprise made contact with a shuttlecraft from the U.S.S. Rickover, a starship presumed lost with all hands over 20 years ago. The lone occupant of that shuttlecraft - Thomas Clayton, once my roommate at Starfleet Academy, now the self-proclaimed chosen son and favored prophet of a deity he calls Ay-nab. I had planned on disregarding Clayton entirely - until control of our engines was seized by an as-yet-unexplained outside force... a force, Clayton insists, that is now taking us to meet his god.

  Synopsis: I am faced with one of the most difficult decisions of my career. Three days ago, the Enterprise, was ordered to proceed at maximum warp to Epsilon Delta IV, where 700 colonists are slowly dying of radiation poisoning. Our journey there was interrupted when Enowil, an eccentric being of unbelievable power, seized control of the ship, as well as one Klingon and one Romulan star cruiser. Offering anything in his power to give as a reward, he has asked all of us for help in solving what he refers to as a "private matter." I've seen evidence of his power: it's incredible. If I decline, if I take the ship and leave, both the Romulans and the Klingons have a chance to obtain what could be an unstoppable weapon... and change the galactic balance of power. But if I stay, I am surely condemning the 700 colonists on Epsilon Delta IV to a slow and painful death.

  Synopsis: The Enterprise is temporarily in orbit around an alien "Starship" (actually an artificial planetoid approximately 217.352 kilometers in diameter) of unknown origin, aboard which Captain Kirk and a landing party of four are stranded. They are currently detained in a prison cell, awaiting interrogation.

Far more immediate is the condition of the Enterprise. The ship has been "snared" by wires apparently composed of the same alien craft (a substance harder than any known to Federation science) - wires which are draining off our power reserves at an alarming rate remaining on board the Enterprise (and crashing to the surface of the planetoid once our power is gone), or joining the Captain inside the alien spacecraft. A fascinating dilemma.

  Synopsis: In a state of severe shock, Mr. Spock has been permittedto beam back aboard the Enterprise - the rest of the landing party and I remain stranded on Heartland. I am convinced that the only person who can help us is Jacob Kell, the man we came here seeking. His years spent alone here have made him capable of somehow communicating with whatever force rules this planet, the force that has struck down two of my crewman... the same force that drove all but one of this planet's original 100 colonists completely insane.

ISBN: 0-553-24170-2, 223 pages

  Synopsis: The young woman brought back aboard the Enterprise by Lieutenant Riley's contact team is responding well to treatment: physically, there's no question she's going to be fine. I'm more worried about the culture shock, the mental strain imposed by the sudden discovery that the world she's grown up thinking of as the be-all and end-all of the universe is nothing more than a spaceship - a ship we need her to help to gain control of before it and her entire world are destroyed. So far, her response has been to regard everything that's happened as a "demon trick": this could be masking some deeper strain, but we don't have the time right now for a gradual indoctrination. The captain has to convince her - and soon - that the crew of the Enterprise is not composed of "demons" - And he'd better do it before she gets a good look at Spock...

This novel was actually an adaptation of an unproduced two-part episode that Gerrold wrote prior to "The Trouble With Tribbles."
