An original novel based on the thrilling new Star Trek movies!Based on
the "Kelvin Universe" movie saga! Captain James T. Kirk and the
Enterprise crew escort Spock's father, Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan, to a
dilithium-rich planet called Akiron. They arrive to find this world
under siege by creatures that some of the planet's denizens believe are
demons. Sarek orders Kirk to abandon the mission, but the young captain
won't turn his back on people in danger. After a harrowing encounter
with the dark-energy "demons," Kirk's belief in a rational universe is
challenged by a mystic who insists that it wasn't coincidence that
brought Kirk to Akiron, but the alien equivalent of a Karmic debt.
Meanwhile, aboard the Enterprise, Sarek's young Vulcan aide L'Nel has a
sinister agenda--and its chief objective appears to be the cold-blooded
murder of Spock!
