After the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Spock returns to Vulcan while Captain Kirk must face the Klingon Empire as never before. When Spock finds out his mother is dying, he returns to Vulcan to be with his parents. But when his father, Sarek, is called away on duty, both father and son must work together to foil a far-reaching plot to destroy the Federation. At the same time, Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise are forced to penetrate the heart of the Klingon Empire, where Kirk’s last living relative has become a pawn in a deadly battle. With Sarek’s help, Kirk and his crew quickly learn that all is not as it seems. Before they can protect the Federation, they must see the face of their hidden enemy…an enemy more insidious and more dangerous than any they have faced before.

The Romulans attack the planet Gateway, where Federation scientists are studying the Guardian of Forever -- the mysterious portal to the past. The Starship Enterprise™ must protect the Guardian -- or destroy it. But Spock has already used the portal to journey to the past. On the planet Sarpedion, 5,000 years ago, Spock knew a beautiful, primitive woman. Now he has gone back to meet his son!

Time For Yesterday Time in the galaxy has stopped running its normal course. That can only mean one thing -- the Guardian of Forever is malfunctioning. To save the universe, Starfleet command reunites three of its most legendary figures -- Admiral James T. Kirk, Spock of Vulcan, and Dr. Leonard McCoy -- and sends them on a desperate mission to contact the Guardian, a journey that ultimately takes them 5,000 years into the past. They must find Spock''s son Zar once again -- and bring him back to their time to telepathically communicate the Guardian. But Zar is enmeshed in troubles of his own, and soon Kirk, Spock and McCoy find themselves in a desperate struggle to save both their world -- and his!

The U.S.S. Enterprise is sent on a mission to find missing Klingon ships, but what they find threatens the lives of all those aboard the ship. After several Federation and Klingon ships disappear while traveling a newly opened trade route, the U.S.S. Enterprise is sent to investigate. Their quest leads Captain Picard and his crew to an eerie space graveyard full of ships of every size and description, all of them, dead in space. At the center of the graveyard lies a huge, incredibly powerful artifact, constructed by an ancient alien race. And as the crew struggles to solve the mystery of the artifact, they unwittingly trigger its awesome power, a power that threatens insanity and death to all aboard the Starship Enterprise.

The Star Trek: Signature Edition series continues with this thrilling adventure featuring Commander Spock, Captain Kirk, and the USS Enterprise. Vulcan: linchpin member of the United Federation of Planets. Home to a civilization dedicated to o’thia, the ruling ethic of pure logic. But it was not always so; thousands of years before, Vulcans were a violent, warlike race, with tempers surpassed only by the planet’s hot, arid sands. The philosopher Surak would show his people another way, teach them to reject their emotions and embrace logic and knowledge. The Vulcans would evolve and prosper, eventually exploring the stars and attaining further enlightenment as they encountered other cultures. In the twenty-third century, Commander Spock, Captain Kirk, and the USS Enterprise are summoned to Vulcan when its people consider seceding from the Federation and returning to their isolationist ways. Vulcan's savage history becomes fully revealed as Spock, his father Sarek, and Kirk work to preserve the planet’s future from anti-Terran factions with hidden agendas. The crisis is twofold for the half-human Spock—should Vulcan secede, he will be required to resign from Starfleet and return home, or forever sever ties with his homeworld. Years later, a decades-old plot to destroy the Federation from within forces Ambassador Sarek from the bedside of his dying wife, Amanda. The ambassador’s decision widens the long-standing rift between himself and Spock at a time when they must pool their resources together. While the Enterprise crew contends with Romulans, Klingons, and the mysterious Freelans, Sarek’s only comfort comes from reading Amanda’s journals, which reveal more about his human spouse, his son, and himself than he ever realized.
