Summary

From the book jacket
The planet Nimbus III. A desolate, forbidding world, situated in the heart of the Neutral Zone. Unremarkable, except for one thing: Nimbus III is the site of an unprecedented attempt at cooperation among the galaxy's three major powers. Here, at this "Planet of Galactic Peace", the Klingons, the Romulans, and the Federation have all sent ambassadors, who are working together to develop the planet- an experiment that, if it succeeds, could transform the galactic balance-of-power.
But now terrorists have seized control of Nimbus III. And when Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise attempt a dramatic rescue, they discover a threat unlike any they have ever faced. A threat that will force them to confront the inner demons of their own, secret pasts – and the forbidden secrets that lie at the center of the galaxy itself...

Background Information

  • Novelization of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier by J.M. Dillard.
  • The novel explains in detail Sybok's mental contact with each member of the Enterprise crew and the "pain" which he removed. It explains that the reason Captain Kirk was so strong about not needing Sybok's aide was due to his guilt over his relationship with Carol Marcus. The novel also explained how the Enterprise was able to reach the center of the galaxy so easily (a frequent plot error associated with the film, especially after the broadcast of Star Trek: Voyager). The reason, so described the novel, was that Sybok had spent years on a modified engine and shield design which made the journey past the galactic barrier possible.
  • The UK edition was from Grafton Books.
