Each time I pick up a Star Trek: TOS novel...I want to know what timeframe I about to be reading in. On the cover, the book looks like it is Star Trek: TMP era, but within the book, the timing is more accurately stated as 2268, which was perfect for me...for that is about the time I've been reading in.
This story revolves around First Contact and the Prime Directive. As we well know, Captain Kirk is a frequent abuser of General Order #1.
This time, I felt for him and his crew.
I had a good time with this one-off "episodic" like novel.
The "foes" were interesting and their tech was similar in some instances (transporter tech), but used vastly differently.
The story was well told. I'm not sure if this book was/is well received, but I can say that I enjoyed it.
It would've been a good bit of TV.
