To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before.

Star Trek is an American space opera media franchise based on the science fiction television series created by Gene Roddenberry. The first television series, simply called Star Trek and now referred to as “The Original Series”, debuted in 1966 and aired for three seasons on the television network NBC. It followed the interstellar adventures of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his crew aboard the starship USS Enterprise, a space exploration vessel, built by the United Federation of Planets in the twenty-third century. The Star Trek canon of the franchise includes The Original Series, an animated series, five spin-off television series, the film franchise, and further adaptations in several media.

Now, IDW presents, Star Trek – Assignment: Earth. His code name is Gary Seven. On the world where he was raised, he is known as Supervisor 194. Where that world is, only the inhabitants know-but for thousands of years those inhabitants have been taking people from Earth and training them, preparing them for a desperate mission: to save the people of the Earth from their own foolish and warlike nature.

Assisting Gary Seven in this assignment on Earth are Roberta Lincoln. Earth-Born, twenty-something, sometimes flighty, sometimes erratic, but with a keen mind and a high IQ; and the Beta Five computer, capable of analytical decisions and not at all shy about informing Supervisor 194 of what it views as his shortcomings.

Story/Spoilers
In issue #1, “Brighter Than A Thousand Suns”, Beginning here are the adventures of interstellar agent Gary Seven and his Earth-born assistant as they covertly confront threats to the past so that they can save Star Trek’s future.

Next in issue #2, “Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow”, A time-traveling U.S.S. Enterprise intersects with Gary Seven’s efforts to save the future from a 1969 crisis that only he and his assistant Roberta can avert!

Next in issue #3, “My Name Is Legion”, Following their encounter with Kirk and the Enterprise crew, the duo must go undercover in the Halls of Ivy as students burn their draft cards and National Guard troops patrol the quad. What is the terrible truth behind rumors of an army of super-soldiers – whose purpose may be much more sinister than fighting in the jungles of Southeast Asia?

Next in issue #4, “We Have Met the Enemy…”, Mysterious alien technology. Senseless death. And a growing awareness that there may be those beyond our world who don’t want to see Earth survive! Seven and Roberta face their greatest challenge yet… an invasion from the most distant regions of the Galaxy!

Finally in issue #5, “Too Many Presidents”, The President of the United States is the most powerful person on the planet – but what if the man in the office is an agent of a foreign government? Seven and Roberta journey to Beijing to make sure only Nixon returns from China!
