'Star Trek IV: the Voyage Home' by Leonard Nimoy, Harve Bennett, Steve Meerson, Peter Krikes and Nicholas Meyer |
A space probe emanating strange sounds appears over twenty-third-century earth, apparently waiting for something. After a time, it begins to cause major storms across the planet, which threaten to destroy humanity. When sounds are discovered to actually be the call of the humpback whale - a creature that has been hunted to extinction, Starfleet charge Captain Kirk and his crew with a mission to save mankind. They have only one choice: to travel back in time to the twentieth century, locate a whale, and bring it back to the present in order to reply to the probe. But things never go easily for the Enterprise crew…
