Star Trek Logs Five and Six - Alan Dean Foster

Celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Star Trek with the original mission logs chronicling
some of the crew's most bizarre missions and strangest encounters with alien races
across the galaxy . . . where no man has gone before.

The Ambergris Element
Spock
and Kirk seemingly meet a watery grave on the planet Argo. But the crew learns that
the two have been turned into water-breathers by a mysterious race-and the consequences
could cost them their lives.

The Pirates of Orion
An epidemic lethal to Vulcans
strikes the Enterprise. But an Orion ship steals the cure and disappears into an
explosive asteroid belt. If Spock doesn't receive the antidote, he has only three
days to live.

Jihad
When a priceless religious object-the Soul of Skorr-is stolen
from the Vedala asteroid, Kirk and Spock join the rescue party to help stave off
a galaxy-wide holy war.

Albatross
On the planet Draymia, where justice is swift,
Dr. McCoy is charged with the wanton slaughter of thousands of innocent civilians
nineteen years ago. But before Kirk can save his friend, he must first find out if
the hideous charges are true.

The Practical Joker
To escape Romulan warships, the
Enterprise sails into a gaseous energy field. But Kirk soon discovers that this cloud
has a mind of its own-and a very wicked sense of play.

How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth
Tracing a mysterious probe, the Enterprise encounters mighty Kukulkan, the
ancient winged serpent of Mayan-Aztec legend, who challenges them to solve a Sphinx-like
puzzle . . . or die.
