About this ebook

Years ago, Lt. Uhura befriended a diplomat from Eeiauo, the land of graceful, cat-like beings. The two women exchanged songs and promised never to reveal their secret—but now, those songs may be the only hope to save the planets from a deadly epidemic.

The U.S.S. Enterprise™ is orbiting Eeiauo in a desperate race to save the inhabitants before a deadly plague destroys them. Uhura's secret songs may hold the key to a cure—but the clues are veiled in layers of mystery and the inhabitants of Eeiauo aren't what they seem. But the plague is killing humans, threatening other planets—and Kirk must crack the code before the Starship Enterprise succumbs!

I must've read 50+ Trek books over the years, and this one stands out. The characters feel real and the world building is well done. Recommended for sure.

I have read Uhura's song som many times and each time I enjoy it more. Maybe because I love cats. Why has this book never been turned into a movie? I have always thought that the makeup and special effects would be som much easier now we have CGI. I love the interplay between Spock and his pintsized "nemesis". Surely the new crew would be very much up to it? I join my songs of praise to yours Uhura! From bard to bard Miss Lovey
