Star Trek: Grissom

Star Trek Grissom is a Fan fiction audio show  set in the latter half of the 23rd century aboard the Federation starship USS. It is based on the bimonthly prose adventures detailing the last voyage of the Grissom.

The story revolves around the last 12 days of the voyage of the USS, before her destruction at the Genesis Planet in the Mutara sector in the year 2285. This came about at the hands of Klingon Commander Kruge. The cast includes familiar Star Trek characters but introduces new characters to readers. The story is unusual in that you know that all of the crew you get to meet, with the exception of Lieutenant Saavik, will be dead by the last episode, almost a Titanic in Space story. The story is firmly set within DC comics continuity (: ) and continues on directly from.

The first prose episode was published in Oct 2008. In addition to the prose chapters, two audio adventures are planned for 2009, a 1 hour pilot and a 40 minute second episode. In total there will be 13 prose episodes and 6 audio episodes.

What Captain Esteban and his crew find at Cinera Base is deadly danger, and an encounter with a renegade Deltan which will prove lethal for the Grissom crew, at least two of whom will end their voyage here.
