Lost is a gen Star Trek: TOS anthology by Ruth Ann Hepner. This zine collects all the parts of the story as printed as of 1983 in Dr. McCoy's Medical Log.
The Trek Fan's Handbook said this is "a series of 10 stories set to a timewarp theme where... McCoy/Kirk/Spock find themselves in a civil war period. Full series sent in a box."
From Universal Translator #22: "This is a continuing series of stories, to last five years. Size varies according to story, due each June. Xerox."
From Halliday's Zinedex: "A complete set of this series to date by editor Ruth Ann Hepner. A series of 10 stories set to a timewarp theme where Dr. McCoy, Kirk and Spock find themselves in a civil war period that is difficult to get out of because of their own mistrust for each other.
From Datazine #31: "A Civil War experience Dr. McCoy, Kirk, and Spock. McCoy looses his confidnce in himself and needs to get away, but Scotty beams him into a a time warp with the Civil War, on the wrong side -- Gettysburg, 1863 in time for the 3 days battle."
Yes, Ten Stories, But Also Many Volumes
Hepner continued this series way past 1983, and those later parts can be found in Doctor McCoy's Medical Log.
- v. 3 was in "Dr. McCoy's Medical Log 26" in 1986. From an ad in Universal Translator #30: "Features "Lost, volume 3." A Gettysburg Civil War timewarp experience. How long will McCoy stay in this strange timewarp, and will Kirk be able to bring him home? McCoy meets a group of boys while escaping the war and trying to find his way in life. Written by Ruth Ann Hepner; art by Pam Wetzel."
- v. 4 was in "Dr. McCoy's Medical Log 32" in 1986. Civil War timewarp experience in which McCoy runs away from Kirk and the Enterprise in an attempt to find himself.
- v. 5 was "Dr. McCoy's Medical Log 35" in 1987 or before. It is a novel called "Jenny." It is a love story based on a living character, likely a self-insertion of the author.
From the Author
{Quotation| There will be a series of Civil War McCoy stories for the next few years, good Lord willing and if he can keep up the pace acting --- I can [keep] writing!
The beginning to our series McCoy leaves the Enterprise because of Kirk's wrath on McCoy. Scotty beams McCoy to the Civil War period but on the Northern Side, hoping it will patch things up with him and Kirk realises the danger since McCoy is from Atlanta and beams down to get him, but Scotty purposely prevents their reunion, must find McCoy before his transported to an actual Union prison Camp. Here is the rundown for each year:
1984 Trapped (Spangler's Spring): McCoy will get into some bad spots. He will get captured several times as his Southern accent gives him away. His in a tight spot as Union as Union troops caught him, the Spring is a quiet symbol of truth as both Union and Rebel troops came to get water only later to meet each other at death's door the next day, but it gives McCoy a chance to think about his over future with Kirk as he hears the soothing sounds from the Spring.
1985 Dr. Gordon: McCoy meets up with another doctor and became friends. They help each other with their stress problems in helping people with their pain. Gordon wanted to give up to life from loosing his family in a raid and McCoy has lost his confidence doctoring because of Jim. The War's struggle to survive will help them find their needs.
1986 Pickett's Charge: McCoy and Gordon find themselves becoming friends. For McCoy's Gordon is the friend he needs after loosing Jim's trust. For Gordon, McCoy helped him want to live again. But how can one live in a war that's about to start. The day's battle bring their senses back as it became to busy to say idle doctoring. McCoy misses Kirk and Gordon realizes [this]. Why does it take Kirk so long to find Bones?
1987 Devil's Den and Jenkin's Calvery: A bit of excitement here. McCoy get's a taste of the fighting at Devils Den. A group of maurder's [sic] terrorize citizens and hurt Gordon. McCoy is furious but he is stopped as White Robe's make McCoy a Southern Spy. A nasty but exciting scene for a while and Kirk finally finds McCoy shot by the Calvary.
1988 General Lee and McCoy: I haven't figured this one out yet but working at it.
1989: A year open for suggestions.
1990 End: McCoy and Kirk find the truth about each other and beam back to the Enterprise under strange circumstances. Will McCoy stay on the Enterprise? [1]}}
My special LOST series looks great for the first introduction. It's 50 pages and I won't have any other stories, etc. I'd like LOST to be by itself to help the special Civil War theme. And I know it will continue at least five years. If any of you want to help please let me know. I could use poems and artwork always. I'm planning on having McCoy's son run into him in a battle conflict in an area at Gettysburg called Devil's Den. How about that! [2]
