In a grim alternate universe to Star Trek : The Original Series, the apocalypse is coming in the form of King Ghidorah, the three-headed monster. Worse, the creature is worshiped by the hate-filled on many Federation worlds, each of whom believes they alone will be spared when the monster comes. On Earth, they have ascended into Starfleet Command itself. The family of James T. Kirk wages a generational war to oppose this evil, but often at a high price. Among the highest are those paid by young Peter Kirk and Saavik.

Ever been to the drive-in movies? By this I mean, that one drive-in that you find is showing movies when you know it's been closed for years? You know that one, where the screen has long since all but collapsed, weeds are everywhere, the stand has nothing but rancid snacks, and your date never came back from the bathroom? Well, what's in these stories is from that particular drive-in - and it's in gigaphonic 13-D. Hope You Enjoy. It Will.

Ancient Destroyer stories dating from the deepest parts of pre-history up to the birth of Peter Kirk in 2255. Worlds are driven to dust before Ghidorah, and the Star Trek world that we know starts to take shape even in the shadow of the beast and its followers.
