Synopsis

The Morthans were physically and mentally superior. Descended from humans, they were now, literally, “more-than” human … and considered the human race to be little better than animals. They would stop at nothing to conquer the remaining human-controlled worlds.

Formerly a never-filmed script for Star Trek: The Next Generation, this conclusion to the Star Wolf trilogy finds Executive Officer Korie and the crew of the Star Wolf answering a distress call from a mysteriously lifeless ship. On board the Norway, they discover half-wave, half-particle clusters of golden light—and a dead man. The lights are the energy form of bloodworms, a fatal infestation that feeds off the energy of living bodies, which scientists on the Norway have developed for use in the Alliance’s war against the Morthans. Officer Korie’s struggle between his conscience and his desire for vengeance will determine not only the safety of the Star Wolf, but the fate of the enemies he’s sworn to destroy.

This is the final of David Gerrold’s Star Wolf series. This is one of those instances where as a reader I would likely enjoy more tales of Korie, Tor, Armstrong and Brik. But, I am one of those readers who much prefer that the series end on a good, or high note, than to continue it to the point wher......more

Goodreads review by Ian on May 17, 2017

David Gerrold's 'not Star Trek' series ends with an adapted Next Generation script that was apparently shelved because it featured a homosexual couple. There really isn't anything with modern attitudes that would scare the horses, and the couple just happens to be two men – dramatically and structur......more

A new Star Wolf novel based on an unproduced Star Trek: The Next Generation script. The Star Wolf finds the Norway infected with blood worms. Captain Parsons violates standing orders in order to save Commander Korie, his team and the Norway survivors. Is this right decesion? Can the people be saved......more
