The Enterprise is being decommissioned, and Captain James T. Kirk finds himself standing at a crossroads. Following Jim Kirk's death in Star Trek: Generations, Pocket Books continued the captain's story in the first of several novels by William Shatner and Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, known colloquially as the "Shatnerverse". The Ashes Of Eden resonated with fans, and DC Comics adapted the book in comic form. Collected in this volume, along with The Ashes Of Eden, are DC's Star Trek Specials #2-3, featuring tales by Kevin Ryan, Steven Wilson, Michael Jan Friedman, and Mark Altman.
