author: Michael Jan FriedmanIn this STAR TREK paperback, which takes place 4/5th's through The Enterprise's original five-year mission, Spock must face an enemy from his past. Ten years earlier, when he was under Captain Pike's command, they encountered a violent alien named Dreen, a marauder. They had successfully beaten him but Dreen has spent the past 10 years stewing about this. So when he again encounters the Enterprise and Spock revenge becomes the first thing on his mind. But Spock has been poisoned by an alien worm-creature on a ground mission and this complicates things a bit.In addition to this story, there are various flashbacks to Pike's five-year-mission and also to Pike in the present day, where he's living in a fantasy with the woman Vina (created by the Talosians). You realize how different Pike and Captain Kirk are.
