Description: Star Trek: The Ashes of Eden Trade Paperback The comic book adaptation of the novel The Ashes of Eden by William Shatner. Writers: William Shatner, Judith Reeves-Stevens, & Garfield Reeves-Stevens Artist: Steve Erwin Inker: Jimmy Palmiotti Colorists: Gloria Vasquez & Gas House Graphics w/ Digital Chameleon Letterer: Willie Schubert Editors: Margaret Clark, Martin Pasko, & Eddie Ortiz Cover by: Nick Jainschigg An original adaptation of William Shatner's first Star Trek novel, in which the aging Kirk, facing a dull retirement, embraces a chance to be a hero once again, with disastrous consequences for the Federation. From the back cover: Somewhere on the Klingon frontier lies the heart of a secret weapon. It is known as the Children of Heaven. Many believe possessing it will make you immortal, invincible, unconquerable. The people of Chal believe their planet is doomed. Once their home was a paradise; now their very existence is threatened. They send out one exceptional woman to seek a defender, a hero. In the dark silent skies of the Federation, a grand lady is numbering her last days. The USS Enterprise ™ is being decommissioned. Her crew is scattered across the stellar winds. James Kirk, the quintessential starship captain, finds himself without a ship. The barren years stretch endlessly before him. A man without a home, a hero without a mission, a legend living life without purpose. In one extraordinary moment, James Kirk turns his back on everything he has ever known. He becomes the hero that the Chal seek. That act entangles him in a web of intrigue that reaches from the halls of Starfleet to the home world of the Klingon High Council - sealing James Kirk's fate as a marked man. Story/Spoilers: At 62, Captain James T. Kirk is a disgruntled hero when his first love, the Enterprise, is reduced to war-game maneuvers by his diabolical archenemy, Androvar Drake, now commander in chief. Kirk resigns his commission to help the seductive young Teilani. The fact that her world needs saving and that she can purchase the Enterprise for Kirk makes her all the more alluring. Suspicious of Kirk's motives, Spock and McCoy join the rest of Kirk's original crew aboard the Excelsior, which is traveling to the Klingon-Romulan world of Chal. There Kirk has abandoned common sense to chase the illusion of youth: a mission, a purpose in life, and an invigorating love life with Teilani. Their age difference doesn't matter because exposure to the planet's atmosphere reverses the aging process. Plot a little too pat? Turns out that it's a psychological setup by a demonic faction within Starfleet to lure Kirk into revealing the secret of this paradise of eternal youth. Excelsior reaches orbit, Kirk comes to his senses, and evil is, at least temporarily, thwarted.
