Books like Star Trek - A Flag Full of Stars by Brad Ferguson
Eighteen months after the Enterprise completed its historic five‑year mission, Admiral James T. Kirk has settled into a quieter life on Earth, returning to Starfleet as Chief of Operations to oversee the refit of his beloved starship—now under the command of Will Decker. His only remaining link to the old crew is Lieutenant Commander Kevin Riley, who serves as his Chief of Staff. Kirk’s routine is disrupted when he meets a brilliant scientist named G'dath, whose breakthrough invention could usher in a new era of Federation technology—or become a weapon of massive destruction if misused. When Klingon agents seize the device, Kirk and Riley find themselves the only line of defense against potential subjugation of countless worlds, forcing them to confront the delicate balance between progress and peril.
