By: Diane Carey This is the story of a hero - and a moment forever lost to history. It is the tale of Starfleet's early days, of a time before the Star Trek we know. The story of a secret mission gone horribly wrong - and an instant in time when the galaxy stood poised on the brink of one final, destructive war. It is the story of a ship since passed on into legend, and a man we know only as the father of Starfleet's greatest captain. His name is Kirk. Commander George Samuel Kirk. He is a warrior, born and bred to battle. Now destiny has placed the fate of a hundred innocent worlds on his shoulders. And put the power of the greatest weapon the galaxy has ever seen in his hands . . .
What a great idea for a story! Finding out about Kirk's father is something I've wanted for a long time so I was very pleased to see this novel. The series "Enterprise" will probably contradict most of the events in this novel. Oh well, I enjoyed this book very much as I read it long before the series "Enterprise" was ever thought of.
