Timetrap ( ISBN 0671648705) [1] is an original-series Star Trek novel by David Dvorkin, published by Pocket Books [2] in 1988. [3] For the week of June 12, 1988, Timetrap was the fifth-best-selling paperback book on The New York Times Best Seller list. The novel originally sold for US$3.95 (equivalent to $10.18 in 2023). [2] Timetrap is Pocket's 40th numbered novel from the retronymed Star Trek: The Original Series. Simon & Schuster released an e-book version in September 2000. [4]
The plot of the novel concerns Captain Kirk's kidnapping and brainwashing by Klingons to believe that he's time-traveled 100 years into his future. Ellen Cheeseman-Meyer, writing for Tor.com, described the story as dealing with the philosophy of perception and " drugs. Lots and lots of drugs." [3]
