BlackFire

Black Fire.

There is sabotage aboard the Enterprise, and Spock's investigation leads him into defiance of the Federation and a bizarre alliance with the Romulan and Klingon Empires against the bloodthirsty Tomarii—a savage race for whom war and battle are life itself. Now Spock has been declared a traitor and condemned to the shame of the Federation's highest security prison. And now Captain James Kirk must face the toughest decision of his command, while a lifelong friendship and the destiny of the free universe hang in the balance!

Yesterday's Son.

The Romulans attack the planet Gateway, where Federation scientists are studying the Guardian of Forever — the mysterious portal to the past. The Enterprise must protect the Guardian — or destroy it. But Spock has already used the portal to journey to the past. On the planet Sarpeidon, 5,000 years ago, Spock knew a beautiful, primitive woman. Now he has gone to meet his son!

MutinyEnterprise

Mutiny on the Enterprise.

The ship is crippled in orbit around a dangerous, living, breathing planet, and a desperate peace mission to the Orion Arm is stalled. Kirk has never needed his crew more. But a lithe, alien woman is casting a spell of pacifism — and now mutiny — over the crew. Suddenly Captain Kirk's journey for peace has turned into a terrifying war — to retake command of his ship!
