Nearing the planet Eminiar VII, the crew of the Enterprise picks up a message coded 710, clearly warning them that under no circumstances should they continue their approach. But an overzealous Federation ambassador orders Kirk to disregard the message and beam down to the planet surface - where Kirk and his landing party are taken captive, unwilling participants in an intergalactic war that the Eminiarians have been fighting for almost 500 years. A war unlike any other..A war with battles, but no blood; A war with death, but no killings...Where not a single shot is fired, yet casualties number in the millions...A war without destruction, yet thousands are destroyed. It all seems to be an incredible game until the Starship itself becomes a target, caught between two belligerent enbemies - and Kirk's only chance to save his crew gives him much more than A Taste of Armageddon...With 300 full colour action scenes. -
