Second Chance is a adult het novel by LRH Balzer and illustrated by Warren Oddsson.
It is a sequel to Second to None.
The zine was distributed as a 1999 print zine, then offered online as a 190-page PDF much later. This edition "was significantly rewritten from the 1999 version."
Summaries
Summary for the print zine from the publisher: "Set a few months after the events of Second to None, Kirk, Spock, Chekov and Sulu return to the planet Castor on an urgent rescue mission -- but the mission is sabotaged before they even arrive."
Summary for the later PDF:
Set early in season 2, shortly after “Second to None”, Kirk, Chekov, Spock, and Sulu are ordered back to Castor as Heather and Jon Masters are missing and there is word that aliens are on the planet. Arriving in South Bend, in the icy cold of winter, there is already trouble afoot when they materialize just a few feet from a body. Despite Kirk’s best laid plans to keep Chekov safe and included, within a short time Kirk is in jail for murder, and Chekov is alone in the city, his worst fears come true–he’s back on the planet without learning the language, without time to prepare for his role, and this time, he’s blind. Note: Although this novel deals with adult situations, it is not ‘slash’. PG13.
