"I am Spockβ¦ I hold the rank of Commander in the Starfleet of the United Federation of Planets; I serve as First Officer of the Starship Enterprise. I am the son of two worlds. Of Earth, whose history is an open bookβ¦ and of Vulcan, whose secrets have lain hidden beneath its burning sandsβ¦ Until nowβ¦"..
It is the twenty-third century. On the planet Vulcan, a crisis of unprecedented proportion has caused the convocation of the planet's ruling council β and summoned the USS 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 Vulcan's future, the planet's innermost secrets are laid before us, 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 the development of cthia β the ruling ethic of logic. And Spock β torn between his duty to Starfleet and the unbreakable ties that bind him to Vulcan β must find a way to reconcile both his own inner conflict and the external dilemma his planet facesβ¦ lest the Federation itself be ripped asunder.
