Star TrekThe Lost Years

What exactly happend to the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise after the end of ther five-year mission? How did that mission end?

We see the newly-promoted Admiral Kirk is placed in charge of a specially-created Starfleet division as he attempts to defuse a critical hostage situation; Mr. Spock, who, in the midst of a teaching assignment on Vulcan, finds the one thing he least expected; and Dr. McCoy, whose unerring instinct for trouble lands him smack in the middle of an incident that could trigger an interstellar bloodbath...
