A decent but standard Star Trek story in which the Enterprise is assigned to pursue and capture a very clever thief through space. The chase continues until they reach a mythical planet called Sanctuary, on the edges of the galaxy, which is what its name implies, but when our heroes land on the planet, they find that while anybody may freely come, nobody may ever leave. A good, if inconsequential read.
