By: Howard Weinstein A routine diplomatic visit to the water-world of Akkalla becomes a nightmarish search for a missing Spock and Chekov, a search that plunges Admiral Kirk headlong into a corrupt government's desperate struggle to retain power. For both a Federation Science outpost and Akkalla's valiant freedom fighters have begun uncovering the ancient secrets hidden beneath her trainquil oceans. Secrets whose exposure may mean civil war for the people of Akkalla - and death for the crew of the Enterprise.
Another routine mission turns sour, this time on a water world. It's amazing how alien planets usually have only one type of terrain. That's very different than what we have here on Earth. We have oceans, deserts, tropical rainforests, frozen tundras etc., but alien planets are almost always described as having only one. Strange eh? I guess it's just easier. It's a decent story written by one of the few male Trek authors. Have you noticed that most of the authors are female?
