Summary

From the book jacket: Back on Earth enjoying a well-deserved shore leave, Captain Kirk is rudely accosted by a trio of Starfleet security guards. It seems he is wanted for questioning in connection with the theft of transwarp - the Federation's newest, most advanced propulsion system. Could Captain Kirk, Starfleet's most decorated hero, be guilty of stealing top-secret technology? With the aid of Mr. Spock, Lt. Cmdr. Piper begins a desperate search for the scientists who developed transwarp - a search that leads her to an isolated planet, where she discovers the real - and very dangerous - traitor!

Chapter one: Kirk enjoys some sailing on his private sailing ship, the Edith Keeler. He is accompanied by Scotty, McCoy and young Mz. Piper, recently promoted to lieutenant commander for her heroism against Vice Admiral Vaughn Rittenhouse's dreadnought conspiracy.

Memorable quotes

Each chapter was prefaced by a memorable quote from TOS.

"You could feel the wind at your back in those days... the sounds of the sea... even if you take away the wind and the water, it's still the same. The ship is yours, you can feel her... and the stars are still there, Bones."

- James T. Kirk, "The Ultimate Computer"

"Anything you might say has already been taken down in evidence against you."

- Trelane, "The Squire of Gothos"

"Sailor's luck, Mr. Spock."

- Kirk, "Amok Time"

"Make the most of an uncertain future. "

- "The Squire of Gothos"

" May we together become greater than the sum of both of us.' ' "

- "The Squire of Gothos"
