[edit] Summary

From the back cover: The Enterprise is on a peaceful mission at Starbase 12 when a bizarre cosmic phenomenon causes a Klingon ship to suddenly vanish - with Spock aboard for the ride.

Spock's last message from the Klingon ship is cryptic and frightening. The Klingons are travelling into the past, searching for the one man who holds a vital key to the future.

If they can kill that man, the course of history will be changed - and the Federation will be destroyed!

[edit] Information

• The novel has Spock interact with the leading characters from Here Come the Brides along with many other characters from franchises outside of Star Trek, including the Cartwright family from Bonanza, Hokas from the book Earthman's Burden, Viper pilots from Battlestar Galactica, both the Second Doctor and the Fourth Doctor from Doctor Who, one of the gamblers from Maverick, and Paladin from Have Gun – Will Travel.
• It also establishes Aaron George Stemple as an ancestor of Amanda Stemple Grayson-Sarek, much like Jeremy Grayson from Strangers from the Sky. Spock's first name is given as "S'chn T'gai," while his pseudonym in 1867 is "Ishmael Marx."
