Spock's World

It is the 23rd century. On planet Vulcan, a crisis of unprecedented proportion has caused the convocation of the planet's ruling council—and summoned the U.S.S. Enterprise from halfway across the galaxy—to bring Vulcan's most famous son home in its hour of need. As Commander Spock, his father Sarek, and Captain James T. Kirk struggle to preserve the future of the federation, the innermost secrets of Vulcan are revealed, from its beginnings millions of years ago to its savage prehistory, from merciless tribal warfare to medieval court intrigue, from the exploration of space to the development of the ruling ethic of logic. Spock, torn between his Starfleet duty and his unbreakable ties to Vulcan, must find a way to reconcile both is inner conflict and the external dilemma his planet faces.
