Crisis on Centaurus

Enterprise ''to the rescue! Kirk must save both a planet and McCoy's daughter!''

Summary

 * From the book jacket:
 * Massive computer malfunctions are plaguing the Enterprise when Kirk suddenly receives a shocking message from Starfleet Command: Centaurus has been bombed and annihilated; thousands are dead. Give whatever help you can. Centaurus is a beautiful, peaceful planet, home to many Humans – including McCoy's daughter Joanna.


 * The crew risks beaming down to investigate. But Kirk is thrown into a deadly struggle between violent enemy terrorists and vengeful Centaurians. Now Lt. Uhura, left alone in command, must jeopardize the crippled Enterprise to save Centaurus, Kirk – and Joanna McCoy!.

Background Information

 * Though the stardate implies the events take place after, the ranks and cover image suggest a date during the five-year mission. Furthermore Uhura taking command of the Enterprise places this novel before (2269), but at least two years after  (2267) as per references to Samuel Cogley.
