Another exciting episode from television's most popular science fiction series

Complete in this volume

The Eye of the Beholder

A routine follow-up mission to investigate an overdue survey ship leads the crew of the Enterprise to a world where visitors are always welcome... very welcome indeed.

Kirk, Spock and McCoy are suddenly captured by strangely intelligent aliens... telepathic Lactrans who look upon the Enterprise crew as no more than interesting specimens for their already well-stocked zoo.

It was not a happy situation for Captain Kirk and his crew. And there seemed to be no way out...
