"Getaway".

  • TOS novel: Final Frontier (Giant Novel #3) by Diane Carey.
    • This is the story of a hero—and a moment forever lost to history. It is a tale of Starfleet's early days, of a time before the Star Trek we know. The story of a secret mission gone horribly wrong—and an instant in time where the galaxy stood poised on the brink of one final, destructive war. It is the story of a ship since passed on into legend, and a man we know only as the father of Starfleet's greatest captain. His name is Kirk. Commander George Samuel Kirk. He is a warrior, born and bred to battle. Now destiny has placed the fate of a hundred innocent worlds on his shoulders. And put the power of the greatest weapon the galaxy has ever seen in his hands…

FinalNexusOrig

The Final Nexus.

  • TOS novel #43: The Final Nexus by Gene DeWeese.
    • Uncounted centuries ago, an unknown race from beyond our galaxy created a series of interstellar gates—shortcuts across our universe—and then disappeared, leaving behind no clues to their fate, or the operation of their system. Twice before, the Enterprise has used the system to traverse the galaxy, and returned each time no wiser to the gates' operation. Now it is imperative that they find out. For the gates are breaking down, taking the very stars in the sky with them. The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of the Enterprise crew, and their ability to communicate not only with creatures from another world—but from another universe as well.
