'''''Star Trek: Grissom''''' is a mixed-media [[fan fiction]] and [[fan productions#Fan_audio_dramas|fan audio show]] set in the latter half of the [[23rd century]] aboard the [[Federation]] [[starship]] {{uss|Grissom|NCC-638| (NCC-638)}}. It is based on the prose adventures detailing the last voyage of the ''Grissom''. The first three episodes of the audio show were Executive Produced by Seán P Teeling (also the series creator) and [[Star Trek: Hidden Frontier|Hidden Frontier]] Production's Rob Caves, who also edited the pilot episode. Longtime HF alumni Bodo Hartwig has created the theme music and orchestrates, scores and also directs the audio episodes. With the upcoming audio episode 4 (due Spring 2013) the Grissom's voyage will be Executive produced by Seán P Teeling and Bodo Hartwig of Black Wall Productions.
   
 
The story revolves around the last 12 days of the voyage of the USS ''Grissom'', 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 not only includes familiar Star Trek characters but also introduces new characters. The story is unusual in that all the personnel aboard the ''Grissom'', 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 ({{mb|DC Comics}}: ''{{mb|Star Trek: The Original Series}}'') and continues on directly from ({{film|2}}).

Stardate: 8145.3 The first episode begins immediately following the events of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Captain Jonathan T. Esteban is assigned new crewmembers for the USS ''Grissom'' (NCC-638) , as the intergalactic newsbands are buzzing with the rumours of the death of the legendary Captain Spock. With the USS ''Enterprise'' investigating the destruction of the USS ''Gallant'', ''Grissom'' is advised of a new mission of exploration via a priority code one communication from [[Starfleet Command]]. But ''Grissom'' is destined for danger, with paranoia rampant in the Alpha quadrant and the Klingons making veiled threats along the [[Federation]] border.

Continuing directly on from the events of Chapter 1, the U.S.S. ''Grissom'' is once again diverted from her mission when she is dispatched to the Epsilon Mynos system to investigate the disappearance of Clive Saunders Phd, a specialist who has worked with both Doctors [[David Marcus|David]] and [[Carol Marcus]] on Project Genesis. 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. And Esteban finds worrying evidence of Starfleet involvement in the Deltans plans.Written by:Melissa D.Wilson and Seán Paul Teeling

Immediately after the events at Cinera Base, the crew of the ''Grissom'' have no time to rest on their laurels. Many questions remain unanswered. What exactly was Terlis up to at Cinera Base? Who in Starfleet was supporting his vile experiments? What, if anything, do the Klingons have to do with this? Can Admiral Alexander McKnight and Captains' Lawrence Styles and Jeffery Pierce give any answers to Captain J.T. Esteban? Meanwhile, Admiral Kirk advises Lieutenant Saavik of her new assignment.

The'' U.S.S. Grissom'' retraces her steps back to the [[Mutara sector]], but passes dangerously near the [[Tholian]] [[border]]. The Tholians have also noted the low level gamma explosion at Mutara, and with their incessant need to acquire new technology, see any Starfleet vessel as a means to information. A Tholian attack leaves Captain Jonathan T.Esteban out of the game, and leads to another crew death. With time running out for ''Grissom'', it is up to Commander Stephanie Ottair to show that she has what it takes to repel rampaging Tholian boarding parties. Amidst the confusion, Aabin is seriously wounded, and Chattman struggles to hold it together. Written by:Seán Paul Teeling

Prose Chapter 7 of the Star Trek: Grissom series follows on from the revelation of the involvement of the Tholians in the previous chapter. This installment has the Romulan Star Empire learning of all the recent activity and mysterious goings on in the Mutara Nebula sector. The T'al Shiar employ an elaborate plot, and the services of Star Trek's infamous intergalactic trader, Cyrano Jones, to steal the highly classified "Genesis Project" data from the U.S.S. Grissom. Commander Stephanie Ottair finds herself and her landing party in the middle of the Romulan gambit, while Grissom is menaced by an Orion privateer. Is everything as it seems, or is it all just part of a greater plot? Meanwhile, we are introduced to the deliciously deadly Klingon femme fatale from Star Trek: III, Lady Valkyris, as she becomes entwined in the Grissom's final missions, and ultimately, its fate.

Star Trek: Grissom is a mixed-media fan fiction and fan audio show set in the latter half of the 23rd century aboard the Federation starship USS Grissom (NCC-638). It is based on the prose adventures detailing the last voyage of the Grissom. The first three episodes of the audio show were Executive Produced by Seán P Teeling (also the series creator) and Hidden Frontier Production's Rob Caves, who also edited the pilot episode. Longtime HF alumni Bodo Hartwig has created the theme music and orchestrates, scores and also directs the audio episodes. With the upcoming audio episode 4 (due Spring 2013) the Grissom's voyage will be Executive produced by Seán P Teeling and Bodo Hartwig of Black Wall Productions.

The story revolves around the last 12 days of the voyage of the USS Grissom, 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 not only includes familiar Star Trek characters but also introduces new characters. The story is unusual in that all the personnel aboard the Grissom, 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 (DC Comics: Star Trek: The Original Series) and continues on directly from (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan).

The first prose chapter was published in Oct 2008. Currently there are 10 prose chapters and 3 'shorts' available. In addition to the ongoing prose chapters, three x hour (+) long audio adventures have been released so far. The 1 hour pilot "All Rumours of Wrath, Past and To Come" is available on iTunes and via the Grissom website, and the 60 minute second episode "The Price of Virtue" was released 1st February 2010 to wide release on the Grissom Website and is now available on iTunes. Audio episode 3 "The Stars my Destination" was released on January 23rd 2012.In total, there will be 13 prose episodes, several Grissom 'shorts' and 8 x hour long audio episodes.

For the audio episodes, a recreation of the recognized Star Trek starship dedication plaque was created by cast member and prose author Rick Pike.
