Tears of the Singers

Captain Kirk and the U.S.S. Enterprise join the Klingons to avert disaster in the Taygeta V system, where a time/space warp has swallowed a spaceship without a trace. Spock suspects a link between the anomaly and the inhabitants of Taygeta, semi-aquatic creatures killed for the jewel-like tears secreted at the moment of death. But a mutinous Klingon officer threatens the vital mission, as a desperate Kirk and Spock race to save the Taygetians, the Federation, and the entire universe.Snodgrass, Melinda is the author of 'Tears of the Singers', published 1993 under ISBN 9780671696542 and ISBN 0671696548.
