Admiral James T. Kirk is charged by the Klingon Empire for the comandeering of a Klingon starship. The Federation honors the Klingon demands for extradition, and Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise are drawn back to Earth. But their trip is interrupted by the appearance of a mysterious, all-powerful alien space probe. Suddenly, Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest of the crew must journey back through time to twentieth-century Earth to solve the mystery of the probe.

[Memory Alpha Background Info]: Vonda McIntyre has also written many non-Star Trek science fiction novels and has won Nebula Awards and a Hugo Award. It was McIntyre who came up with Sulu's first name, "Hikaru" in The Entropy Effect, which was made canon by "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" ten years after the release of the novel. She has also written Star Wars tie-ins.

When considering a possible time travel, Kirk recounts the tragic events leading to Edith Keeler's death in TOS: "The City on the Edge of Forever" to McCoy. He laments that he could've saved Edith's life and brought her with him to the 23rd century, without hurting the timeline. Scotty knows that Marcus Nichols "invented" transparent aluminum, and concludes that his presence in the time and place of its "discovery" is a predestination paradox. Gillian Taylor comes to greatly like the transporter as a way of travel, and is surprised to find out Doctor McCoy's fear and distrust of it. The scene with Sulu and his great-grandfather (scripted, but not filmed) is present in the novel.
