Okayish, but not good enough for me to bother reading to the end. One of the plot developments was obvious way too early on (why have a young empath on board if you aren't going to need him later). The bits with the real Kirk were okay, but the bits with the fake Kirk were dull.

It's not a bad book, but given the number of other Star Trek books out there, I know I can find better ones to read. (

One of my first and favorite Star Trek books when I was a kid. (

A good Star Trek adventure that brings back the Kirk android created by Dr. Roger Korby in one of the original TV episodes. The events that follow put the android in control of the Enterprise. A good, not a great story. (

Book description

THE FORM ON THE CIRCULAR PATTERN JERKED ONCE ...

,,,, its head thrown back, the tendons in the neck standing out like knotted cords.

Then it lay still.

Brown cut power. the machine cycled down.

He walked over to the platform, stood over the being locked into it. It was f few moments before its eyelids fluttered open.

There was intelligence in those eyues. And something else - something that seemed to hold him captive for a moment.

"Brown," said the android. "Isn't' it."

"That's right," said Brown. "and you are ...?"

"Captain James T Kirk - Captain, U.S.S. Enterprise. He chuckled. "The improved version."

DOUBLE, DOUBLE

On a routine exploratory mission, the Starship U.S.S. Hood picks up a distress signal from a research expedition thought lost long ago -- the expedition of Dr. Roger Korby, one of the centuries' greatest scientific minds. Korby himself is dead, it seems, but his colleagues have made a most incredible discover -- a discovery they insist the Hood's captain see for himself. Reluctantly, the captain agrees to beam down...

Meanwhile, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise™ begins long-overdue shore leave on Tranquility Seven. James T. Kirk is looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation....until what seems like a bizarre case of mistaken identity plunges Kirk into a whirlpool of mayhem and murder.

And puts an inhuman stranger with his memories and anilities in command of the Enterprise.
