Captain Kirk and the crew of the starship Enterprise find themselves in the middle of an undeclared war waged by the Klingon Empire...

The Organians should be consulted about the war but their entire planet has disappeared - or been destroyed...

Mr. Spock entered the transporter chamber.  His image would be flashed to Organia by the huge machine's faster-than-light tachyons.  But the experiment failed.  Suddenly there were two Mr. Spocks.  One of them had to be destroyed...

BUT WHICH ONE?

Captain's Log, Stardate 4181.4
We are at war with the Klingon Empire.

Launching an unprovoked attack upon the Federation, the Klingons have broken the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty - leaving the Enterprise stranded deep in uncharted space, cut off from the rest of the Federation fleet.

To find out what happened to the Organians, Commander Scott rigged an experimental modification of our transportation system designed to enable a tachyon replica of Mr. Spock to travel faster-than-light to Organia.  But the experiment failed, and incredibly, left us with two identical Spocks: one of whom is a replica in every way the opposite of our first officer, a traitor whose continued existence poses a grave threat to the Enterprise and quite possibly the entire Federation.

One of the Spocks must die.  But which one...

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
