Errand of Fury Book One: Seeds of Rage (Star Trek: The Original Series)
by Kevin RyanFollowing the harrowing events of the Errand of Vengeance trilogy, tensions between the Federation and the Klingon Empire are the highest they have been for twenty-five years. Even as Federation Ambassador Robert Fox engages in tense negotiations with his Klingon counterpart to maintain the peace, Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enterprise sees his vessel refitted from a ship of exploration to a ship of war. The impact of the coming conflict will be felt by many of the Enterprise crew - and by those on the other side. Amongst them is security supervisor Leslie Parrish, who is stunned to learn she is carrying her dead lover's child - and that he was a Klingon spy, surgically altered to pass as human and infiltrate Kirk's ship. Meanwhile Karel, the brother of the Klingon agent who was posing as John Anderson, faces a crisis of faith and conscience as he sees the Klingon Empire falling into dishonourable ruin... And Michael Fuller, whose son Sam was killed in a battle with Klingons, reenlists in Starfleet. But is he driven by loyalty or revenge?
Errand Of Vengeance 1: Star Trek The Original Series (Star Trek: The Original Series #Bk. 1)
by Kevin RyanMore than four hundred men and women serve aboard the USS Enterprise. While we are very familiar with Kirk and Spock, what do we know of those who live, and sometimes die, under their command? These are the best of the Federation, men and women of exceptional courage and skill. But not all of them can be trusted. Lieutenant Jon Anderson is the newest security officer aboard the Enterprise, joining the crew at a time of mounting tension between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Previous battles have been inconclusive, but Starfleet Command fears that the Klingons are gearing up for a major offensive, and the Enterprise would be on the front line of an all-out interstellar war. Lt Anderson, however, has a secret: he is a Klingon infiltrator, assigned to sabotage Starfleet from within. His first mission: kill Captain James T Kirk.
Errand Of Vengeance 2: Star Trek The Original Series (Star Trek: The Original Series #Vol. 2)
by Kevin RyanThere are more than four hundred crew members on a Federation starship, and each of the men and women who serve under Captain James T. Kirk has his or her own story. Each has a different part to play in the saga of the USS Enterprise -- and the role of one in particular stands out from the rest... The USS Enterprise is patrolling the Klingon border when sensors detect a massive power source on a planet supposedly without advanced technology. Suspecting a Klingon plot, Kirk beams down to investigate in person, accompanied only by Dr McCoy and a small security team. But Kirk is in danger from an unexpected quarter, for the landing party includes Lieutenant Jon Anderson -- and Anderson is a Klingon agent on an undercover mission, briefed to report on the Enterprise and its crew. Anderson does not know if the Klingon Empire is at work on the unnamed planet, but if it is, then his duty requires that Kirk be stopped -- by any means necessary.
Errand Of Vengeance 3: Star Trek The Original Series (Star Trek: The Original Series #Vol. 3)
by Kevin RyanIt isn't always those in command of a starship that make the important decisions -- sometimes those below decks can hold the fate of the ship in their hands... The news from Starfleet Command is grim: the Federation is on the brink of a full-scale war against the Klingon Empire -- a war that they may not be able to win. In anticipation of the coming conflict, the USS Enterprise is assigned to guard a strategically vital starbase located close to Klingon space. But even as their mission brings them into a tense confrontation with a Klingon battle cruiser, a equally deadly menace lurks within the ranks of Kirk's own crew: Klingon infiltrator agents, posing as Starfleet officers and sworn to destroy the enemies of the Empire -- even at the cost of their own honour.
