Summary

From the book jacket
On a routine mission to Starfleet Academy, the sensors for the USS Enterprise detect the presense of a rogue planet in space, orbited by a sun no larger that a pea - a circumstance impossible to explain by any known scientific law. Assuming the star to be an artificial construct, a landing party is despatched to the planet's surface, and there becomes trapped. Spock leads a rescue mission, and becomes trapped in turn.
With two crewmen dead, and unable to contact Scotty on the Enterprise bridge, Captain Kirk must battle to solve the riddle of the planet Spock calls Anomaly - a planet where no equipment works and one of their science applies... a planet that cannot exist..
