Plot Summary
PLOT SUMMARY HERE (two to four paragraphs).
Background
This was the first original Trek novel published by Bantam Books. It was a sequel to TOS:"Errand of Mercy" written by James Blish, author of the popular Star Trek 1 and continuing series of TOS novelizations.
The concept of transporter duplication was addressed again in a later canonical production, TNG:"Second Chances."
An editor at Bantam copyedited Kirk's reference to McCoy from "Bones" to "Doc," apparently being unfamiliar to the reference to McCoy's oft-used onscreen nickname. Author James Blish wrote a piece about the error in the introduction of a later novelization.
