Template:Realworld The Enterprise is caught between its own survival – and the destruction of an innocent, isolated world!
Summary
- The citizens of Mercan cannot conceive of worlds beyond their own. Their sun, Mercaniad, is prone to deadly, radioactive flare-ups, and the Mercans have organized their lives around the need to survive The Ordeal – until a strange visitor appears from out of nowhere...
- The USS Enterprise, badly crippled and in desperate need of repairs, must seek help from a people who cannot believe in its existence. Mercaniad is about to blow, and James Kirk faces an impossible choice: to attack the sun itself and save his ship and crew – or let a people live in peace, in the only world they know... the abode of life.
- Excerpts of copyrighted sources are included for review purposes only, without any intention of infringement.
Background information
