The Price of the Phoenix

The Price of the Phoenix (July 1977) is a science fiction novel by American writers Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath, based upon the 1960s television series Star Trek. It was first published by Bantam Books in 1977, and reissued by Corgi and Titan Books in the UK. The novel references the Star Trek episode "The Enterprise Incident", and includes the unnamed Romulan commander featured in that episode.
