[edit] Plot
The Klingon Empire manages to imprison the Organians and begin another war with the Federation. Captain Kirk and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise find themselves far behind enemy lines.
Scotty has figured out a way to use tachyons to send a duplicate of Mr. Spock to Organia faster, without having to travel through Klingon space, but something has gone terribly wrong. As a result, there are now two Mr. Spocks. Eventually, one of them turns out to be an evil saboteur and has to be destroyed... but which one?
The novel is notable for an elementary public exposure of tachyon theory.
For a similar duplication of Captain Kirk, see "The Enemy Within" (TOS episode).
