Template:Realworld Now, the untold story - Captain Kirk's First Mission!
Summary
- From the book jacket
- James T. Kirk is the youngest man to be promoted to the rank of captain in Federation history. His crew consists of a first officer who finds him impetuous; a chief engineer who finds him arrogant; a chief medical officer who finds him trifling; and a helmsman who wants a transfer.
- But the young crew, which would later become the legendary space explorers, quickly puts aside their differences when a monstrous starship appears on their nascent flight path.
- Excerpts of copyrighted sources are included for review purposes only, without any intention of infringement.

- - Spock
"I do not control the worldship, James. I control the universe."
