Star Trek Bantam Novel #11: Devil World
from Star Trek: CineMcCollough Hosted by Patrick Brennan
Next Bantam mission is to "Devil World," our second selection authored by Gordon Eklund, though not a sequel to his earlier work The Starless World. This volume was released in November 1979, just one month before the eagerly awaited release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Rob and Butch were unable to find any information as to whether this novel was as eagerly awaited. The book takes our crew to the planet Heartland, where Kirk will fall in love (typical), the natives are hostile and terrifying (natch), and behind it all looms a massive, unknown intelligence -- with a secret, albeit a familiar one. We even get a former Starfleet officer who has defected to the Klingon Empire, of all places, and we learn that perhaps the only thing worse than a visiting commodore is being assigned a commodore's son as a crew member. Sit with us for a while as we tell you all about the book "Devil World."
