Spock and Sulu are swept into a savage power struggle on a primitive, beautiful world.

Summary

Spock and Sulu accompany him home, but are quickly embroiled in a savage conflict between Vikram's supporters and the technology-fearing usurpers who have seized his throne. To survive, and win Angira back for Vikram, Spock and Sulu must meet their enemies on their own terms, with swords.
