An epic new Star Trek saga by New York Times bestselling author Dayton Ward set during the original Five-Year Mission!

For years, Starfleet Intelligence agents have carried out undercover assignments deep within the Klingon Empire. Surgically altered and rigorously trained in Klingon culture, they operate in plain sight and without any direct support, while collecting information and infiltrating the highest levels of imperial power. Their actions have given Starfleet valuable insight into the inner workings of Klingon government and its relentless military apparatus.

After three of Starfleet’s longest serving agents fear exposure, they initiate emergency extraction procedures. Their planned rendezvous with the USS Endeavour goes awry, threatening to reveal their activities and the damaging intelligence they’ve collected during their mission. Tasked by Starfleet to salvage the botched rescue attempt, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise must discover the truth behind a secret weapons experiment while avoiding an interstellar incident with the potential to ignite a new war between the Federation and one of its oldest adversaries.

This Dayton Ward tale involves espionage, covert warfare, and interstellar politics - during the height of the Federation-Klingon conflict. Captain Kirk and the Enterprise are sent on a mission to an asteroid field in the demilitarized 'Neutral Zone' to rescue a crashed Starfleet vessel and a trio of human spies escaping the Klingon homeworld with valuable stolen data. A new Klingon weapon & enemy alliances with pirates from Orion complicate matters.

Admittedly, reader Robert Petkoff occasionally employs injudicious William Shatner/Leonard Nimoy/James Doohan/etc impressions.. but I found the performance otherwise outstanding. His carefully professional narration and enthusiastic tone prove that he is a genuine fan of the Star Trek (TM) universe.

In toto, 'Agents Of Influence' merits 9.5 stars out of 10. It's a strikingly mature SciFi story elaborating on Gene Roddenberry's vision and enriching well-loved characters that we first met in the 1960s.

[I was blown away by the in-depth exploration of professionalism, skills, and personal qualities among the "supporting cast" in the Enterprise crew in this book - particularly Lieutenants Sulu & Uhura]
