Re: Star Trek Book Cover Art
I forget what Mission to Horatius is about also. If I remember correctly, they have more than one problem to solve in it. I have Strangers from the Sky (unfortunately, some information in that book is invalidated by First Contact) and Enterprise: The First Adventure. Kirk's age is wrong in that, they claim he's 29, but the numbers don't add up for him being 34 in 2267 (The Deadly Years.) Though, they also did a comic with the "first adventure" of James T. Kirk and crew and it's quite different than the novel. In that one, he was already a captain commanding a smaller vessel when he took command of the Enterprise, so the "youngest captain" thing could still ring true. I do like the explanation that Enterprise: The First Adventure offers for Klingons with and without brow ridges, that it's a caste system and (presumably) the bumpy headed Klingons took control of the Empire and executed their former smooth headed masters at some point (or made them slaves.)
