Enterprise’s five-year mission! In Star Trek: Year Four the Enterprise encounters a strange series of planets, arranged to look like a strand of DNA floating through space. The crew can’t help but explore once Spock realizes that the desolate structure once supported more than 800 billion beings in the past. By David Tischman, Leonard O’Grady; Steve Conley, Gordon Purcell, and Joe & Rob Sharp. In a sequel to “The Enterprise Incident;” The Enterprise Experiment details the Federation’s experiments with a Romulan cloaking device, by D.C. Fontana, Derek Chester, and Gordon Purcell. Also collected are two one-shots featuring the Vulcans and Tribbles! A Starfleet starship arrives at a planet on the brink of its own destruction. A once peaceful society is now savage and warlike linking itself to the turmoiled past of the Vulcans, by James Patrick and Josep Maria Beloy. Then, welcome to Serjilla IV, an abandoned world completely overrun by Tribbles: friendly, trilling balls of fur that eat constantly and, in the words of Dr. Leonard McCoy, “reproduce at will.” When a human freighter, boarded by hostile Klingons, crash-lands on Serjilla, the Tribbles‘ quiet but lonely existence is shattered. It‘s a simple situation, really—three desperate humans, a squadron of angry Klingons, and a billion hungry Tribbles. What could possibly go wrong? By Stuart Moore and Mike Hawthorne.
