By: Michael Jan Friedman On a routine exploratory mission, the Starship USS Hood picks up a distress signal from a research expedition thought lost long ago - the expedition of Dr. Roger Korby, one of the centuries' greatest scientific minds. Korby himself is dead, it seems, but his colleagues have made a most incredible discovery - a discovery they insist the Hood's captain see for himself. Reluctantly, the captain agrees to beam down . . . Meanwhile, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise begins long overdue shore leave on Tranquility Seven. James T. Kirk is looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation . . . until what seems like a bizarre case of mistaken identity plunges Kirk into a whirlpool of mayhem and murder. And puts an inhuman stranger with his memories and abilities in command of the Enterprise.
The first (and only) Trek novel to be named after a Tim Horton's coffee! (You might need to be Canadian to get that reference!) Anyway . . . I love it when a novel continues the story from one of the original episodes! This is a continuation of the episode "What Are Little Girls Made Of?" Just when you thought the story was over, a way is found to bring the androids back. I won't spoil it for you, but I will say that the way in which the androids return is perfectly believable. And you find out in the first few pages! A very entertaining story with well written characters. Michael Jan Friedman is an excellent author. He really knows how to write Star Trek!
