One of the more entertaining of the federation novels - this is Uhura and Chekov's book
The writers had started doing that towards the end - allowing each of the background characters their very own books.

In this one we meet a young Pavel Chekov on his very first assignment: in some ways he is a young James Kirk and gives his captain the same headaches same probably did HIS captain.

Meanwhile, Uhura is sent off on a diplomatic mission to translate for a group whose language is musical, verbal, AND gestural. After successfully accomplishing her translating mission, she returns to her home and uses her acquired knowledge to crack the secret of these unknown, hostile attacks that ARE NOT aimed at the Federation, other than in a casual way ...

A tale from early in the annals of Kirk's Enterprise, interesting primarily for the portrayal of Chekov as a young ensign, brash and unsure and struggling to prove himself to Captain Kirk. (

"FORWARD PHASERS OUT!"
CALLED SPOCK

"Starboard shields buckling," the Vulcan continued. "Port shields can sustain only two more hits."

"Captain, how about the Turmog defense!" Chekov suddenly shouted. "In a situation like this - "

"Not now, Mr. Chekov!" snapped Kirk.

"But Sir - "

"Ensign," said Kirk "I don't have time to turn the bridge into an Academy lecture hall. Bring us around to 419 mark 6. Drop forward shields; prepare for warp speed."

"What!" Chekov exclaimed. "Captain, even minimal warp will kick us right out of the system! And with no shuttles, we'll be defenseless."

"Ensign, you're relieved," said Kirk sharply. "Palmer, take over. Mr. Chekov, get the hell of the bridge. You're confined to quarters."
