Perry's Planet is a Star Trek novel, a TOS adventure from Bantam Books in February 1980. This was the 11th of 13 full-length novels in the Bantam TOS series, and the first of three released after the license to commission new stories had been passed to Pocket Books for the numbered series that began with TOS novelization: The Motion Picture in 1979. This was the only Star Trek book by author Jack C. Haldeman II, brother of Joe Haldeman.
Description[]
- Planet of perilous peace.
- Kirk, Spock, Scotty and the Enterprise crew face battle with the Klingons in a strange world ruled by a "human" who's been dead for 300 years! Soon the entire crew has fallen under the planet's mysterious force—stripped of their power to wage war—as the subhuman Immunes advance… and the Klingon legions hover overhead!
