The writer-producer who created Mr. Spock and all the other Star Trek characters — who invented the Starship Enterprise, who gave the show its look, its ideals — puts it all together again here in his first Star Trek novel!

Their historic 5 year mission is over. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, all the crew have scattered to other jobs or other lives. Now, they are back together again on a fabulously refitted U.S.S. Enterprise as an incredibly destructive power threatens earth and the human race.

It came from an unexplored quarter of the galaxy.

It ignored all attempts to communicate with it.

And it annihilated all opposition with energy bolts of unimaginable ferocity.

Computer projections showed that it would enter the solar system in precisely three days.

The USS ENTERPRISE, refitting in dry dock, was the only craft that Starfleet Command could send to intercept the Cloud in time...

THE ENTERPRISE EMBARKS ON HER MOST FANTASTIC ADVENTURE OF ALL!

The planet Nimbus III. A desolate, forbidding world, situated in the heart of the Neutral Zone. Unremarkable, except for one thing: Nimbus III is the site of an unprecedented attempt at cooperation among the galaxy's three major powers. Here, to this "Planet of Galactic Peace", the Klingons, Romulans, and the Federation have all sent ambassadors, who are working together to develop the planet — an experiment that, if it succeeds, could transform the galactic balance-of-power.

But now terrorists have seized control of Nimbus III. And when Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise attempt a dramatic rescue, they discover a threat unlike any other they have ever faced. A threat that will force them to confront the inner demons of their own, secret pasts — and the forbidden secrets that lie at the center of the galaxy itself...

THE KLINGONS ARE PROPOSING PEACE
Does this mean the end of war or the end of history?

Stardate 8679.25: Internal pressures, enormous military expenditures, and the destruction of their primary energy source have brought the Klingon Empire to the verge of catastrophic collapse...

To avert disaster, Gorkon, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council, proposes negotiations between the Federation and Klingon Empire — negotiations that will put an end to the years of hostility between the two powers, and herald a new era of peace and cooperation. Captain James T. Kirk and the U.S.S. Enterprise are dispatched to escort the Chancellor safely into Federation space.

But a treacherous assassination brings negotiations to a sudden halt — and places Kirk and Dr. McCoy in the hands of the Federation's greatest enemy. With time running out, Spock and the Enterprise crew must work to uncover the deadly secret that threatens to propel the galaxy into the most destructive conflict it has ever known!

Back Cover Blurb
"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."
