Trek 80 Plus is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology. It was published in 1997 and contains 119 pages. All illustrations are by Ray Lefebvre, with the exception of cartoons by Juane Michaud.

According to the publisher: "Have you ever wondered what Trek might be like if things had gone a little differently? Imagine it's 1970 and the first original Trek novel, James Blish's Spock Must Die, has hit the shelves (to those who haven't read it yet, all will be made clear). Now crank up your imaginations and picture an alternate world, where the Original series never died, with this as the 80th episode. Herein are the continuing voyages exploring the 4th and the beginning of the 5th years that might have been of the 5 year mission. Return to the way it was ... almost."
