Summary [ ]

Omne, a genius megalomaniac who seeks immortality, has discovered a way to create a perfect duplicate of a sentient creature. As part of a plot against the Federation , he lures the Enterprise to his highly-protected planet, where Captain Kirk is apparently killed while breaking the Prime Directive . When Spock returns to the planet to confront Omne about Kirk's death, he is met with not one but two living, breathing Kirks – the original and a very convincing duplicate. Aided by the unnamed Romulan Commander from " The Enterprise Incident ", Spock and the two Kirks attempt to shut down Omne and protect the balance of power. The extra Kirk later receives extensive cosmetic surgery to live as a Romulan companion to the Commander.

Background information [ ]

The book heavily references the events of " The Enterprise Incident ", in which a Romulan commander attempted to lure Spock to her crew. It is not established how she went from being a prisoner at the end of that episode to being in command of a ship and a representative of the Romulan Empire again. While it is revealed that her name means "dawn of springtime", the actual name is not given.
This story is continued in the 1979 book The Fate of the Phoenix .
