Where Sea Meets Sky

There's a bar called "The Captain's Table", where those who have commanded mighty vessels of every shape and era can meet, relax, and share a friendly drink or two with others of their calling. Sometimes a brawl may break out but it is all in the family, more or less. Just remember, the first round of drinks is always paid for with a story... fishy or not.

Summary

 * From the back cover:
 * Years before Kirk took command, Captain Christopher Pike guided the Starship Enterprise on a five-year mission. Pike's journey took him to many new and unexplored realms, none more strange or perilous than a devastated star system where huge, space-faring lifeforms, vital to the survival of one inhabited star system, wreak havoc on the humanoid inhabitants of the other.  Captain Pike must thrust the Enterprise into deadly danger as he fights to save one innocent civilization without dooming the other.
