A Star Trek: Original Series novel featuring James T. Kirk, Spock,
and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise!
The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise is completing a diplomatic mission
with the Maabas, an alien race with whom they'd been sent to sign a
treaty. The Maabas are a peaceful people who are not native to the star
system they now inhabit, but were refugees from a great war long ago.
Several hundred thousand took shelter on their new planet, and have been
there for thousands of years. While they have warp capability, they do
not travel the stars, but seek to explore within. The Federation's
interest is in the Maabas's great intellectual resources. Their science,
while behind Federation standards in some areas, excels in others. They
are highly intelligent, with unique approaches, and their philosophy is
in line with that of the Federation. But just as the pact is signed, the
Enterprise is attacked by an unknown ship. They manage to show enough
force to keep the alien vessel at bay...but a new danger arises, as
their mysterious foes are the Kenisians--a race that used to inhabit
this planet thousands of years ago, and now want it back.
