There are five stories in this volume with contributions by Wil Wheaton and Diane Duane among others.

In Cura Te Ipsum by Wil Wheaton we find Scotty trying to extract dilithium crystals from a mine in a war zone while Kirk tries to bring peace to the warring sides.

The Trial by Mike Wellman finds Kirk on trial for crimes he has committed, and those he might commit in the future.

Communications Breakdown by Christine Boylan in which Uhura demonstrates the true power of communication as the Enterprise answers an unusual distress call.

Scaean Gate by Diane Duane finds the Enterprise escorting a monarch to her new home; and finally, Forging Alliances by Paul Benjamin in which we learn more of Spock and Vulcan emotions. The stories vary in their faithfulness to the characters but are all enjoyable. The art work varies from story to story and while some are spot-on, others are such that the characters are hardly recognizable. These are called "manga" but are more accurately graphic novels or even comics but they are a must for the complete Star Trek collector. - Stephanie L Bannon
