Product Description

Product Description
When Captain James T. Kirk faced a Court Martial in the eponymous Original Series episode he was defended by Samuel T. Cogley, an eccentric and computer-phobic lawyer who specialises in taking on lost causes and securing acquittals against impossible odds. Now, once again, a man's future is in Samuel Cogley's hands. The planet Anerher II sits in the middle of the Neutral Zone, and neither the Klingon Empire nor the Federation can claim it. Under the terms of the Organian Peace Treaty, the disputed colony world will go to the party - either Klingon or Federation - which shows it can best develop the planet. Then the fragile peace between the two rival colonies is shattered when Daniel Latham, head of the Federation colonists, is murdered, and Commander Mak'Tor, the head of the Klingon colony, is found crouched over Latham's body, a discharged phaser still hot in his hand. Sam Cogley volunteers to defend the accused Klingon, but when his investigation inadvertently provides the prosecution with a key piece of evidence and his courtroom tactics unexpectedly backfire, can even the galaxy's most brilliant defence attorney win the day...?

4.0 out of 5 stars A new departure....., 31 Jan 2004
"The Case of the Colonist's Corpse" is a departure from the usual Star Trek novel in one very obvious way. As the title implies, the story is a mystery... a Perry Mason style mystery.
When you begin reading, you already get to know whom the corpse will be and who will be accused. Following Earl Stanley Gardner's classic template, authors Bob Ingersoll and Tony Isabella introduce the main characters and step by step set the stage for the murder. They provide plenty of suspects, carefully establishing who would have cause to want the Colonist Corpse out of the way. The victim is a character who is so well written it stirs a strong sense of emotion from the reader when the character is killed. They are written to be both likable and honourable.
The whole point to this type of mystery is that the reader already knows that the accused is innocent and the fun lies in trying to pick out the subtle clues along the way and guess "who done it.." before the denouement of the real culprit at the climax of the story.
The only reason this book doesn't get five stars is due to the ending being rushed and so you feel a little deflated.
All in all this is a different kind of Star Trek novel set in the universe of Star Trek. It is both a welcome and entertaining change.
