- Another exciting episode from television's most popular science fiction series
- Complete in this volume:
- The Counter-Clock Incident
- Commodore Robert April, first Captain of the Enterprise, was traveling at warp-speeds toward retirement... a fate worse than death for a seasoned sailor of the spaceways.

- Nothing, that is, except that a Klingon in pursuit means trouble... especially when that Klingon is the wily Commander Kumara!

- This is also the first of the Star Trek Log books to feature the adaptation of a single 30 minute episode. The remainder of the Star Trek Logs series was in this format.
- April is stated as having never commanded a starship before the Enterprise. This is later contradicted by the comic Flesh of My Flesh where April is stated to have commanded a USS Tiberius.
- Much of USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is stated to have been designed by Chief Construction Engineer Franz Joseph IV.
- The Klingon God of Gods is identified as the Great Kinkuthanza.
- In Foster's essay (preface of the 2006 trade reprint omnibus of Logs Seven and Eight), he explains that the Kumara adventure in Log Seven is based on a two-part Klingon-themed script he prepared for Roddenberry for a potential Season Four of the original series.
