THE GREAT BIRD OF THE GALAXY
WRITE A STAR TREK NOVEL!


The writer-producer who created Mr. Spock and all the other Star Trek characters - who invented the Starship Enterprise, who gave the show its look, its ideals - puts it all together again here in his first Star Trek novel!

Their historic 5-year mission is over.  Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, all the crew have scattered to other jobs or other lives.  Now, they are back together again on a fabulously refitted U.S.S. Enterprise as an incredibly destructive POWER threatens earth and the human race.

Under the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty, the planet will go to the side best able to develop the planet and its resources.  Each side will contest the prize with the prime of its fleet.  For the Federation - Captain James T.

Now the Sackers have performed a deed whose brutality matches their horrifying exterior.  They have stolen a revolutionary new scientific device - murdering an entire race in the process - and used it to create a rip in the fabric of space, a hole through which another universe is rapidly leaking.  Unless Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise™ can find a way to stop the new universe's expansion, it will consume - and utterly destroy - our own.

Uncounted centuries ago, an unknown race from beyond our galaxy created a series of interstellar gates - shortcuts across our universe - and then disappeared, leaving behind no clues to their fate, or the operation of their system.  Twice before, the Enterprise has used the system to traverse the galaxy, and returned each time no wiser to the gates' operation.

Not it is imperative that they find out.  For the gates are breaking down, taking the very stars in the sky with them.  The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of the Enterprise crew, and their ability to communicate not only with creatures from another world - but from another universe as well.
