Captain Kirk and the <em>U.S.S. Enterprise</em>TM are dispatched to transport a Federation delegation of diplomats, scholars and scientists who will travel to Calligar directly during the brief period of time that the rift will be open. </p><p>Mr. Spock leads the Federation party as they travel by shuttle through the rift just as a group of the aliens arrive in Federation space. The meetings go smoothly until the Calligar take Spock's party hostage and Kirk discovers that the aliens are keeping a deadly secret. With angry Tellarite and Andorain fleets ready to attack the Calligar, Kirk must save Spock and the others before war breaks out and the rift closes for another 50 years. </p></div> Pocket Books http://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pl.cgi?46170 eng TOS Novel Star Trek _isfdb Nomination of 1992 Prometheus Award for Prometheus Award for Best Libertarian SF Novel
