On the planet Vulcan, a crisis of unprecedented proportion has caused the convocation of the planet's ruling council -- and summoned the U.S.S. <I>Enterprise&#153;</I> from halfway across the galaxy to bring Vulcan's most famous son home in its hour of need. <P> As Commander Spock, his father, Sarek, and Captain James T.
