This Star Trek novel has the distinction of being written by a member of the original script writing team from the Original Series in the 1960's, a practice which is still quite rare and as such is the book's major selling point. This does not guarantee a good story however but fortunately this title is generally OK without being spectacular.
The plot rotates between four separate strands, Spock's first mission aboard the Enterprise, the discovery of a lost Vulcan treasure, a resumption of a former mission of Captain Pike and a murder/whodunnit type mystery. I won't go into plot details for fear of spoiling the book but suffice to say that the author, D.C Fontana has managed to weave a very consistant storyline which encompasses and links all the various plot strands into a satisfying novel.
The book is of great interest to Star Trek fans for it's use of Captain Pike from the original 1964 pilot episode "The Cage".There have only been about four such books in over thirty years, and of gaining some additional character insight into the young Spock, a Spock who is very different from the one we know from the TV series.
All in all a very pleasant read, a straightforward story told in a straightforward way, there are many worse Star Trek books than this.
