Captain's
Comments & Nitpicks:
This story was later repinted in DC's "Best of Star Trek" collection. Comment:
The plot of the errant Starfleet captain posing as a god seems lifted straight
from the orginial series' "The Omega Glory" [TOS]. Nitpick:
The scenes of Admiral Kirk ordering phasers set on kill and the apparent
vaporization of several characters seems to be a little bit extreme for
a 'bending' of the Prime Directive.
