The Great Bird of the Galaxy writes a Star Trek novel! – Novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, authored by creator Gene Roddenberry based on the Screenplay by Harold Livingston and the Story by Alan Dean Foster. The original historic 5-year mission is over. All of the Enterprise's original crew have pursued other jobs, only to be called back into action. A new U.S.S. Enterprise has been refitted and the original crew must deal with an incredibly destructive power that threatens the Earth and the Human race. . . It came from an unexpected quarter of the galaxy. It ignored all attempts to communicate with it. And it annihilated all opposition with energy bolts of unimaginable ferocity. Computer projections showed that it would enter the solar system in precisely three days. The USS Enterprise, refitting in dry dock, was the only craft that Starfleet Command could send to intercept the Cloud in time... ==== [Memory Alpha Background Info]: This was the only Star Trek novel written by Roddenberry and this was the first Pocket Books Trek novel (though the imprint wouldn't officially begin its novel series until The Entropy Effect in 1981). It was also briefly issued as a hardcover, slip-cased, numbered limited edition. (This edition is dedicated to Majel Barrett.) ==== http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Motion_Picture_(novel) [A wiki encyclopedia for topics related to the Star Trek fictional universe].
