After a tiring mission, the Enterprise
returns to Starbase One in need of extensive repairs and R and
R. They are immediately given an assignment to transport three
specialist to the planet Ammdon, for the purpose of diffusing
a war between her and her sister planet, Jurnamoria, who appear
to be siding with the Romulans. Kirk, who is quite upset with
having to send his ship out with no repairs, as is Mr. Scott,
has no choice but to obey.
On the way to Ammdon, the Enterprise
picks up a distress call and rescues Lorelei, a Speaker of Hyla.
The crew is fascinated by Lorelei. After finding out where the
Enterprise is heading, and why, Lorelei starts talking to different
crew members and convinces them that the Enterprise should not
go to Ammdon because it will cause a war to start.
As she talks
to each crew member, they fall under her influence and start
to rebel against the mission by refusing to work and eventually
crippling the Enterprise. Needing raw materials, they head towards
an unexplored planet. Spock and some crew members are soon captured
by the locals and Jim tries to save them but is stopped by his
crew.
Lorelei is saddened that she is unable to convert Jim and
a few select others. The simplest solution for her is to leave
them on the planet. So…she does.
Mutiny on the Enterprise
is a science fiction book in the Star Trek world and was written by
