  • Music of the Spheres
    MUSIC OF THE SPHERES A Star Trek Novel by Margaret Wander Bonanno Historian’s Note: The events of this novel begin immediately following the final frame of The Voyage Home. One might imagine James T. Kirk, having instructed Sulu to “see what she’s got,” settling back in his chair and musing upon the almost-fate of Earth. Between the end of the Prelude and the beginning of the first Fugue, there is a hiatus of several weeks, perhaps only to allow sufficient time for news of the Praetor’s death to reach Starfleet and the Federal Council. “Do you still play chess, Kirk?” Sarek asked as if casually before removing himself from the scenario entirely. “Whenever I have the time, Ambassador,” Kirk replied, knowing Sarek would not waste words on trivia. “I suggest you will have much time on this mission,” Sarek said cryptically. “Be mindful always of the importance of the king...” # PRELUDE “And the waters prevailed without measure upon the earth...” In the center seat on the bridge of a spanking new starship designated NCC-1701A, Captain James T. Kirk watched the blue-and-white confection that was his home planet recede in the rear viewscreen. The waters, in fact, no longer prevailed. Cloud cover and planet-wide temperatures had returned to within normal parameters. Floodwaters had receded from all but the most low-lying regions. There were the isolated food and medical-supply shortages to keep off-planet transports working overtime, and people were still being advised to boil or irradiate their drinking water until groundwater could be certified pure but, on the whole, Earth had been lucky this time.
