About this ebook

The Starship Enterprise™ is summoned to transport a dangerous criminal to rehabilitation: the brilliant physicist, Dr. Georges Mordreaux, who is accused of promising to send people back in time, then killing them instead. But when a crazed Mordreaux escapes, he inexplicably bursts onto the bridge and murders Captain Kirk before the crew's eyes.

Now Spock must journey back in time to avert the disaster before it occurs. But more is at stake than Kirk's life. Mordreaux's experiments have thrown the universe into chaos, and Spock is fighting time itself to keep the very fabric of reality from unraveling.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed it but I hardly think there needed to be all the extra characters. They added to subplots that by the end were unable to be resolved completely or satisfactorily. Its enjoyable but when the plot begins to thicken a lot of characters start acting out of character in order for the plot to happen. A lot of the conflict that occurred between characters could have just been handled by a simple conversation. And im a big kirk fan and I'm a bit upset as to how his character was treated in this book.

A little small for the price, but wonderful none the less.
