From History's Shadow

From History's Shadow is a forthcoming novel from author Dayton Ward, due for release in July 2013. The original publisher's description described it as:
 * Set in the Original Series universe, this standalone story utilizes 1950s UFO paranoia, the Cold War, and the escalating “space race” of the 1960s as a backdrop for a Star Trek tale in a vein similar to that of the New York Times bestselling Eugenics Wars duology.
