This is not your father's Trek TOS (The Original Series) It's probably at least a bit easier to build epic stories on the foundations of the more recent Treks (TNG, DS9 or Voyager) than it is to exume Jim Kirk & co, who were created 35 years ago. Back then, sci fi was more or less interstellar horse opera--"Wagon Train To the Stars" was a working nickname for Trek in its formative state. Trek TOS fiction has been mainly good guy/ bad guy, unlike its successor forms. . Neither Diane Carey's best, nor her worst. Diane Carey is somewhat restrained in her attempts to play "wordsmith" in this book, which is a good thing. (Frequently, she tries so hard at being a "wordsmith", coming up with so many novel and creative ways to use the language, that it's difficult to recognize the language as English. She isn't anywhere near as bad as that in this book, although she does still occasionally stretch the language until it screa. "Terrible terrible terrible" according to Daniel Rodriguez.

Kirk is called again to the final frontier. After saving Earth from the threat of V'Ger, James T. His new mission: to lead a valiant group of settlers to a distant world, to defend the struggling colony from alien threats, and to explore the diverse mysteries and dangers of a strange new Earth! Far from the Federation, a newly discovered M-class world has been eyed as a potential home by a group of hardy and determined colonists. Star?eet can spare only one starship to escort the would-be settlers on their perilous voyage, but that ship is none other than the legendary "Starship Enterprise"(TM), commanded by the most well-known captain in the quadrant. Now Kirk finds himself responsible for the lives of 30,000 men, women, and children -- a task that grows all the more difficult when the expedition is caught in the middle of an ancient feud between two dangerous alien races!
