David R. George Just in time for the highly-anticipated Star Trek feature film, Pocket Books is re-releasing the definitive Crucible trilogy, the most in-depth exploration of the series most iconic characters: Captain James T. Kirk, Mr Spock and Dr McCoy. Originally published as three mass-market paperbacks in 2006/2007, the three instalments of the trilogy are now unified in a single hardback edition, complete with a brand new short story. The Crucible trilogy revolves around a single defining moment shared by all three men, and explores the impact this moment has on the rest of their lives. With a character-driven narrative tightly interwoven with their familiar on-screen adventures, and now with the addition of a new, never-before-seen short story, Crucible is the quintessential celebration of Star Trek on a scale never attempted before.
