Now William Shatner brings his unique blend of talents as actor, writer, director, and producer, to tell the story only he can, of Captain Kirk's greatest adventure... <p> The time: six months prior to the launch of the <i>U.S.S. Enterprise</i> 1701-B and the tragic loss of Captain James T. Kirk in deep space. The place: Earth, where the galaxy's most renowned hero must now face the specter of retirement and a life devoid of challenge and excitement. <p> But in the apparent twilight of his career, Kirk's path takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious young woman offers him an irresistible adventure--a perilous voyage to an uncharted planet where he will confront the ultimate threat to the fragile peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, and the ultimate temptation--a chance to recapture his youth. 2323265 book 1 3 1995 The Ashes of Eden (Star Trek) total:181|5:21|4:61|3:75|2:21|1:3| 181 619 231 17 3 0 false false Wed Aug 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 14:18:25 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 10:51:35 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Aug 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 09:43:34 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 10 09:47:53 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Dec 30 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 02 21:31:35 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 01 19:31:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Aug 27 20:39:12 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 20:43:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Sun Mar 29 16:09:08 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 16:11:07 -0700 2009

The Reeves-Stevenses help a lot, but Shatner still thinks he can write much better than he actually can. Even so, it's a fun book, and a nice last (well, second-to-last) hurrah for Kirk and the gang.]]> 4 0 false false Fri Jul 27 23:49:39 -0700 2007 Fri Jul 27 23:51:26 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Oct 21 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 27 14:38:00 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 27 14:38:00 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jul 27 09:28:10 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 09:07:46 -0700 2009 plenty of unexpected outcomes]]> 4 0 false false Sun Nov 15 19:57:15 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 19:57:15 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Nov 13 15:40:08 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 13 15:40:08 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 12 11:10:08 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 12 11:10:08 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=217714
