Here's the NLS synopsis:Dr. McCoy is given command of the Enterprise while Captain Kirk beams down to the tiny planet "Flyspeck" on a diplomatic mission. The doctor is enjoying his authority until Captain Kirk disappears. When an alien fleet arrives, things really heat up and the battle begins in earnest--a battle there is no hope of winning. And here's some more info from the publisher, taken from Amazon's page for this book:When Dr. McCoy grumbles once too often about the way the U.S.S. EnterpriseTMought to be run, Captain Kirk decides to leave the doctor in command while he oversees a routine diplomatic mission. Kirk beams down to a strange planet nicknamed "Flyspeck" to negotiate its admission into the Federation, leaving Dr. McCoy to enjoy his newauthority.However, the doctor soon learns that command is a double-edged sword when Kirk disappears without a trace. Desperately trying to locate his captain, McCoy comes under pressure from Starfleet to resolve the situation immediately. Matters go from bad to worsewhen the Klingons arrive and stake their own claim on Flyspeck.Then another, more deadly power threatens them all, and suddenly Dr. McCoy and the Starship Enterprise find themselves pitted against an alien fleet in a battle theyhave no hope of winning.Let's have some fun and come on over next month and share your thoughts on this book and Star Trek memories in general.Evan
