Harold Living
and Gene Roddenberry

An alien phenomenon of extraordinary size and power is approaching Earth, destroying everything in its path. The only starship in range is the U.S.S. Enterprise, but the vessel is still in dry-dock following a major refitting. As preparations to face the menace are made by Captain Decker and his crew, the legendary Admiral James T. Kirk arrives with orders from Starfleet to take command of the Enterprise. Heading off on an intercept course, they make contact with the entity and come face to face with an object dating from the Earth’s early days of space exploration, something that will lead Decker to make the choice of his life…
