I loved this book! I think its also a great story for struggling teeneagers and their parents. The story is less about Star Trek and more about life. (I know sounds lame)

At sixteen, Kirk is troubled, estranged from his father, and has a bleak future. However, a trip into space with Kirk's father George and Starfleet legend Captain Robert April changes James Kirk's life forever, when a simple voyage becomes a deadly trap. Soon Kirk and his father find themselves fighting for their lives against a vicious and powerful enemy.
Before the voyage ends, father and son will face life and death toghter, and James T. Kirk will get a glimpse of the future and his own BEST DESTINY ...

This is a wonderful book. It's so good that I read it years and years ago, but still remember the story. It's a great look at Kirk's early life.
