[Star Trek: TOS 01] • [Bantam Novels 14] • Bantam Novels - 014 - the Galactic Whirlpool

The *Enterprise* comes across a huge, antiquated vessel floating in space and carrying a colony of primitive human beings who have been lost in space. While the colonists are in perfect health, they must deal with the culture shock of learning that a world exists outside of their spaceship. Their initial reaction is fear, as they believe the crew of the *Enterprise* to be "demons." And their fears are heightened with the belief that Captain Kirk and his crew are unaware of an outside force pulling them into a whirlpool of death.
