A Flag Full Of Stars It has been eighteen months since the Starship Enterprise completed her historic five-year mission and her legendary crew has seperated, taking new assignments that span the galaxy. On Earth, Admiral James T. Kirk has married and started a new life as the Chief of Starfleet operations where he is overseeing the refit of his beloved ship, now commanded by a new Captain -- Willard Decker. Kirk's only tie to his former crewmates is his Chief of Staff, a young Lieutenant Commander named Kevin Riley. But Kirk's new, quiet life changes when he meets a scientist named G'dath who is on the brink of perhaps the greatest scientific discovery in a century. G'dath's invention could mean tremendous strides in Federation technology, or -- in the wrong hands -- the subjugation of countless worlds. When Klingon agents capture this new technology, Admiral Kirk and Lt. Commander Riley are all that stands between peace and devastation for the entire Federation.
Far above your typical Star Trek novel. In this book Kirk is an admiral and as usual has to solve an intergalactic conspricy with nothing(except the resources of an entire galaxy). I remember reading this book and the reason why I rmember it is because of the unique inovation of putting impluse engines on the (by then) old space shuttles. A must for any Star Trek fan.
A Klingon book

G'Dath is quite un-klingon but i'm glad Mr. Ferguson's understanding of the Klingon culture is impeccable. I really liked the pre-Khitomer human-Klingon relations are viewed. Brad Ferguson showed Klingons are individuals who have different philosophies or concepts
An awesome book

It is wonderful to find this author's understanding of Klingon culture is impeccable. Writing a story about a Klingon pacifist teaching humans is not only a new idea but an intriguing idea as the concept of a human-raised Klingon in Starfleet.Although I must congratulate Mr. Ferguson on his spectacular book, it pales in comparision with Mr. Ford's Final Reflection and Mr. Friedman's Kahless. No offense, Mr. Ferguson.
Good book!

Kirk and Klingons in a pre-Wrath of Kahn story.

This novel takes a step back to the Lost Years era of Star Trek. It occurs between TOS and the Movie timelines.Reading the first Lost Years novel will give you perspective. This novel however is a better than average Kirk vs. Klingons novel.
