Star Trek: The Original Series: Troublesome Minds

While exploring the unmapped frontier, the Starship Enterprise responds to a distress call from an unknown ship. Captain James T. Kirk turns first contact into a threat of interstellar war -- by saving the life of a man left to die by his own people. Berlis, colony leader of a telepathic race calling themselves the Isitri, claims not to know why those from his homeworld want him dead. Kirk wants to believe him, but it matters little since the damage is already done: the Enterprise can neither leave the stranger to die nor turn him over to those who would kill him without trial. A fragile being, Berlis seems harmless and perhaps even believes himself to be. But his people say he cannot live among them: his telepathy is so strong they lose their wills to his. Self-defense leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy of disaster when he acts to keep his people from imposing their death sentence. The same fear that forces the Isitri to murder one of their own drives the neighboring Odib to genocide, for every time an "alpha mind" dominates the Isitri, the Odib pay the price in their own blood. With Spock becoming erratic under Berlis' thrall, and the Isitri begging Kirk to allow them to destroy the man who threatens their waking existence, all seems lost when Berlis makes his way back to Isitra, and an entire world falls to his whims. As the Isitri now ready their fleet to protect Berlis from an Odib onslaught, Kirk must either find a way to wrench billions from the grip of one man, or be responsible for the destruction of two planets.

Tractor beam." Captain James T. Kirk spun toward his chief engineer.

Montgomery Scott turned from the engineering console and shook his head forbiddingly. "At this distance? Through that atmosphere? Impossible, sir."

"Their shields are failing." Spock was angled over his science station console viewer, its informative blue glow playing over his sharp features. "At the current rate of descent, their hull will be crushed in four minutes, sixteen-point-nine seconds."

"Mister Scott, set shields for atmospheric running." Kirk turned back toward the helm. "Sulu, close the distance. I want that ship pulled out of there."

"Aye, sir." Sulu's lithe fingers danced impressively across his console. At navigation, Ensign Chekov answered Sulu's movements. Moments later, the navigator said, "In range, Captain."

Kirk kept his eyes on the main viewscreen. Tension made his shoulders knot up. First contact with a new warp-capable race was exhilarating, but the distress call dampened any enthusiasm and caused concern. "Spock?"

"Radiation from the gas giant prevents a detailed scan, but sensors indicate storm currents are pulling them ... read full excerpt from: Star Trek: The Original Series: Troublesome Minds ebook

Reviewer: A viewer from Anaheim, CA US
As the most recent Star Trek Universe books have had a grand arc to the storylines, it is refreshing to have a great book that can stand on it's own. This Original Series book showed the depth of the friendship between the "Big Three". The book has a thought provoking premises. What would happen if the choice you make to help turned out to be the wrong choice after finding out the events around the event. I highly recommend this book to any Star Trek fan or as a good book for someone just beginning to delve into the genre.
