Summary

  • "This second novel by Trinette Kern has been described as an action-adventure/relationship/get'em filled with the Science Fiction spirit of the series. There will be one printing only" [1]
  • "An action-adventure story set on a small planet on the edge of nowhere. What happens when the four top officers of the Enterprise decide to go on shore leave together and get trapped in a civil conflict precipitated by the Klingons, and get themselves hurt, leaving Dr. McCoy in charge. Right in the path of the Klingon takeover." [2]
  • "'I'm a doctor, not a line officer...' But the Klingons won't believe him, and the lives of his friends and the future of Starfleet are in his hands, hanging on what Bones McCoy will say, or will not say under Klingon torture. It started as a vacation with his three best friends; it ended in a nightmare. An action/adventure, relationship, get'm ... rated G." [3]
