Description

Scattered throughout the galaxy are Gateways capable of transporting matter and energy across unfathomable distances. Left behind by a long-vanished civilization, these mysterious portals offer a means of exploration -- or conquest -- many times faster than warp travel. The technology responsible for the Gateways has been lost for at least ten millennia, but that doesn't mean it can't be found again....Having defeated the hostile computer program guarding an abandoned Kalandan outpost, Kirk show more and his crew are exploring the artificial planetoid in hopes of discovering the secret of an ancient apparatus that has hurled the Starship Enterpriseā„¢ over nearly a thousand light-years. Unfortunately, the reactivated Gateway has attracted the attention -- and avarice -- of various alien explorers, including a mysterious race who claim to be none other than the enigmatic Kalandans themselves! show less

TOS to the max..... but more than TOS in the series.

This kicks off a multi-volume series of Trek adventures, covering multiple eras. Came into my library thanks to a the current back-list ebook special (all 8 books for $.99 each). I missed these when they first came out, so it's an interesting addition to my books.

This one covers the aftermath of "That Which Survives," and features a sneaky race that impersonates Losira's people, solely to swipe whatever technology they can acquire. Ends with a cliffhanger - a good way to keep you coming back to the series to find out what happens.
Taking place right after the Original Series episode That Which Survives. The story ends in a cliff hanger. To get the conclusion you need to read the matching story in What Lay Beyond (Gateways)
James T. Kirk auf Mission - als Captain durch einen Virus zunächst bei einer Außenmission mit Spock und Sulu gestrandet, Scotty muss derweil die Captainsrolle übernehmen weil Klingonen und andere an der gefundenen Technik interessiert sind - die aber nicht in die Hände von nicht-Föderationsmitgliedern gelangen soll. Eine nette Episode im klassischen Stil.
