Plot

edit

A mysterious distress call leads to the USS Enterprise being attacked by the same forces assaulting the other ship. Dozens of Enterprise crew members die in the attack and Chief Medical Officer Leonard McCoy is critically injured. Although the Doctor recovers from his injuries physically, mentally he has lost all sense of his former identity. Kirk discovers it is much more difficult tracking down their new enemies without McCoy's always valued advice.

Reception

edit

The book made the New York Times bestseller list in June 1987.[1]

Author Steve Mollmann, who co-wrote 2014 novel "Star Trek: A Choice of Catastrophes" called it "both a gripping story and a smart look at McCoy" and said it was his favorite McCoy story.[2]
