"Blaise of Glory" Drifting towards a black hole, R.J. Blaise
(see Star Trek #4-12 above) pleads for help via subspace
transmission, from anyone in the universe except James T. Kirk.
Kirk, or course, is nearby and feeling old. Even a visit from
McCoy and a bottle of Saurian brandy fails to lift his spirits
much. The Enterprise picks up the distress signal and when
Blaise is transported aboard, the situation heats up. She is
being pursued by the Lord High Darrich, a warlord whom she has
offended during diplomatic negotiations. Starfleet orders Kirk
to resolve the situation even if it means turning Blaise over to
Darrich. Kirk has his own tried and true methods for dealing
with delicate situations and Blaise has her own way with Kirk.
In spite of their attraction, duty comes first for both of them.
Kirk and Blaise both wonder what might have been had they met at
a younger age.

"The needs of the one" This story is set between ST III: TSFS
and ST IV: TVH. On Vulcan, while awaiting completion of repairs
to the Klingon warship which will take him back to Earth to face
charges, Kirk considers the loss of his son and the rebirth of
his friend. Spock wanders into the mountains which he knew as a
child and Kirk sets out to find him. Along the way they revisit
events from their past and come to terms with their future.

"Raise the Defiant" A priority message from Starfleet orders
the Enterprise to meet and pick up Dr. Juram, who briefs Kirk
and his crew on their mission. The Enterprise must go to
Tholian space and try to recover the Defiant, lost in
interspace twenty years earlier ("The Tholian Web").
Recovery of a classified phase-inverter being tested by the
Defiant is necessary because it is apparently still working
and causing instability in the Tholian sector. Dr. Juram, an
arrogant research specialist, needs Scotty to make her
theoretical work a reality. With distrustful Tholians
watching, the Enterprise shifts into interspace and locks on
to the Defiant. Scotty suspicions about Dr. Juram prove to be
true and his foresight prevents a disaster. Painted cover by
Dan Curry, Emmy Award winner and TNG Visual Effects Supervisor.

"A question of loyalty" The Enterprise takes fourteen third
year Starfleet Academy cadets on a training mission. Lt.
Saavik supervises the officer candidates. Among the cadets is
Ensign Valeris (ST VI: TUC). Valeris immediately butts heads
with Saavik, who tries to remind the intolerant ensign of
Surak's teachings about diversity. As an emergency situation
unfolds, Valeris' bigotry is contrasted with Saavik's
compassion and the seeds of subsequent events are sown.

"The unforgiven" On a camping trip with his nephews, Adam, Jason,
and Peter, Kirk tries to help them cope with the loss of their
parents ("Operation: Annihilate"), but Orion pirates with
cloaked ground vehicles are preparing to attack the nearby
mining colony. Kirk and his nephews are captured, but manage to
warn the colony in time to prevent disaster. Painted cover.

"Echoes of yesterday" Kirk visits the family home in Iowa and
runs into his nephew Peter. Peter wants Kirk to explain the
secret of time travel so that he can help an alien race whose
homeworld has been destroyed. After being forced to give up the
secret, Kirk gives chase in the Enterprise. Travelling back in
time, he learns Peter's real motive, to prevent his parent's
death. On Deneva, Kirk is reunited with his brother again. Peter
is unable to change events and is himself a victim.
