Tales from the Second Five-Year Mission
Summary[]
Kirk is allowed to take the newly refitted Enterprise on a shakedown cruise following the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, before resuming his post as Chief of Starfleet Operations. Klingon forces attempt to take the ship as a prize but Kirk's ingenuity saves the ship and Starfleet reconsiders, giving him command of the Enterprise again.
Background information[]
According to writer Glenn Greenberg, his original plot for this issue was quite different from the final story and Paramount's approval department did not like it until a suggestion from editor Tim Tuohy changed the direction of things. [1]
