STAR TREK VOLUME 3 TRADE PAPERBACK

The book collects to classic Star Trek the original series episodes The Return of the Archons and The Trouble with Tribbles which are retold with a classic twist. Both stories lead into next summer’s Star Trek 2: Into the Darkness.

The Return of the Archons follows Sulu and the Enterprise to a planet where the people are descendents of a Federation starship the U.S.S. Archon. The descendents are controlled by a computer named after a rogue scientist named Cornelius Landru. Kirk and Spock teleport the machine back to the ship and free the people which draw the attention of Admiral Pike and a secret branch of Starfleet.

The second story is called The Truth about Tribbles where a Tribble is beamed to Starfleet Academy while the Enterprise deals with a Klingon Bird of Prey who warps away. They discover a planet which is the home of the Tribbles where the Klingons planted a bomb. Meanwhile both Starfleet Academy and the Enterprise are overridden by them. The crew lowers the temperature to slow their replication. All is well and Starfleet Intelligence has taken the Tribbles for further study.
