Star Trek: Crisis of Consciousness<\/strong> by Dave Galanter, published in 2015<\/p>\n The Federation has just signed a treaty with the Maalas. Kirk is ferrying a delegation back to their home planet when they’re interrupted by the Kenisians. The Kenisians claim that Maaba used to be their planet — and they want it back. When they meet a Kenisian, she claims that within her head are the consciousnesses of many of her ancestors.<\/p>\n Of the Enterprise characters, the focus is on Kirk and Spock.
