Enjoyable pre Kirk story. 
Although Spock is pictured on the cover, he does not feature as the main character. Pike, Number One and the chief engineer all share that with Spock.
Rigelian fever has gripped Pike's Enterprise . On the way to find a cure they rescue two young women from a.Klingon attack.  They are sisters but the youngest had been abducted then adopted by a Kingon general, who is desperate to get her back.
A big nature versus nature conflict ensues. Her birth planet just happens to have the fever cure and a great political stand off ensues.
