Star Trek®
“Are you willing to settle for an ordinary life? Or do you think you were meant for something better? Something special?”
One grew up in the cornfields of Iowa, fighting for his independence, for a way out of a life that promised only indifference, aimlessness and obscurity.
“You will forever be a child of two worlds, capable of choosing your own destiny. The only question you face is, which path will you chose?”
The other grew up on the jagged cliffs of the harsh Vulcan desert, fighting for acceptance, for a way to reconcile the logic he was taught with the emotions he felt.
In the far reaches of the galaxy, a machine of war bursts into existence in a place and time it was never meant to be. On a mission of retribution for the destruction of his planet, its half-mad captain seeks the death of every intelligent being, and the annihilation of every civilized world.
Kirk and Spock, two completely different and unyielding personalities, must find a way to lead the only crew, aboard the only ship, that can stop him.
“The wait is over.”

I expected more from Foster. If you are looking for back story? Its not here. If you want continuity? Forget it. I mean, how do you justify changing the line that gives Leonard McCoy his nickname?!

Alan Dean Foster is at his usual top notch form. I was kind of confused by the way the plot went at first because of all the history of the charactors in the Star Trek novels & movies, but long toward the middle it became abundantly clear. I can't say more because of possibly spoiling the plot, but I highly recommend it. An absolutely fascinating read! As for the movie, having seen the previews, I don't plan to watch it. Suffice it to say that Captain Kirk was a lot of things, but he was NEVER red headed and freckle faced!!
