The cover image from Book 12 of James Blish's Star Trek episode adaptations, showing a scene from The Corbomite Manoeuvre - a big alien head that turned out to be a puppet fashioned to scare people away.
A text-free version from Chris Achilleos' website of the cover image from Book 12 of James Blish's Star Trek episode adaptations, showing a scene from The Corbomite Manoeuvre - a big alien head that turned out to be a puppet fashioned to scare people away.
Book 12 and an image from The Corbomite Manoeuvre that everyone remembers from the closing credits. A nice clean image from Chris Achileos' website, too. This is (almost) the last of the episode adaptations, but don't worry. There are lots more covers to come.
