The Starship Trap

Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise must prevent the galaxy from disintegrating into full-scale war.

Summary

 * From the book jacket
 * En route to an important diplomatic reception, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) suddenly is set upon by a Klingon warship. This unprovoked assault, Kirk discovers, is in response to what the Klingon ship's captain claims are recent Federation attacks on several Klingon vessels which have disappeared.


 * Managing to secure a truce, Captain Kirk reaches the reception only to find out it is not just Klingon ships that are disappearing, but Federation vessels, Romulan Birds-of-Prey, and ships from almost every known race are vanishing without a trace.


 * Now, Captain Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise must determine the fate of the missing ships before the entire known galaxy is drawn into a deadly conflict.
