The Enterprise Encounters Vejur
Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a novel based on the 1979 movie of the same title. Three years after the conclusion of their five-year mission, the crew of the Enterprise is reunited and sent out to stop a dangerous intruder (Vejur) headed for Earth. Vejur is a threat to both Earth and humanity?and Captain Kirk is put into a position to save both Earth and the human race. I saw the movie in 1979 and liked it; the book enabled me to relive the events of the movie and brought back many memories. Author Gene Rodddenberry (the creator of Star Trek) has done a good job with plot development, character descriptions, and an interesting scientific premise with this great science fiction story. Also, Star Trek: The Motion Picture is an intellectually intriguing and suspenseful book. If you like Star Trek and/or science fiction you will like this story.
