DescriptionEdit

It began with The Lost Years, the long-awaited story of what happened to Captain Kirk and the legendary crew of the USS Enterprise when their original five-year mission ended. Now, it is more than a year later, and Kirk and his crew have settled into their new, separate assignments.

But when Sulu and Chekov find themselves framed for murder and treason, the two officers are forced to go into hiding. As Admiral Kirk and Uhura frantically search for evidence to prove Sulu and Chekov innocent, they uncover a plot that threatens the very foundations of Starfleet.

The web of conspiracy is woven tighter as the real culprits and Federation agents close in on the fugitives. Unsure of whom to trust and with time running out, the former USS Enterprise shipmates must once again rely on each other to find the truth and prevent the Federation from facing utter destruction.

AppendicesEdit

BackgroundEdit

This is the third in the "Lost Years" series of novels, which recount the events between the end of the original five-year mission and TOS movie: Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It was preceded in the series by TOS novel: A Flag Full of Stars, although it apparently takes place before that novel.

On seeming discontinuity is the wear of uniforms in the book. The Lost Years mentioned personnel at Starfleet Headquarters and Starfleet Operations wearing the newer 2270s uniform, which previously premiered as a uniform that was being transitioned into use on Starbase 10 while the previous 2260s uniform was still in use (in TOS - Annual comic: "The Final Voyage"). Traitor Winds describes the 2260s uniforms for personnel at Starfleet Headquarters, Starfleet Operations and Starfleet Security School, as well as Drydock personnel. The Star-Crossed storyline of DC Comics showed the older TOS uniforms continue after Kirk was promoted to rear admiral, one star, but another source that shows the opposite has the new The Motion Picture uniforms worn on board ship, before the Enterprise left service in The Lost Years.

The descriptions of uniforms in the book agree with the earlier TOS uniforms, but the illustrations on the cover depict the characters in TMP uniforms.
