[edit] Summary

From the back cover

Trial and error?

These are the continuing comics adventures of Kirk, Spock, Scotty and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, as the classic Star Trek team warp into thrilling new worlds!

As the Klingons and Nasguls pursue their vendetta against Captain Kirk, a deadly bounty hunter is eyeing the price they've placed on his head. But if the Captain is fortunate enough to survive the encounter, will he survive the attentions of his own Federation, eagerly looking for a scapegoat to preserve universal peace – even if it costs Kirk's life?

Written by acclaimed Star Trek novelist and comics legend Peter David (Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man) with pencillers James W. Fry (Inhumanoids) and Gordon Purcell (New Teen Titans), and featuring rare interviews with Nichelle Nichols (Lt Uhura) and Walter Koenig (Mr Chekov), these never-before-collected tales will take you where no man has gone before – and beyond!
