DOUBLE, DOUBLE
On a routine exploratory mission, the Starship U.S.S. Hood picks up a distress signal from a research expedition thought lost long ago -- the expedition of Dr. Roger Korby, one of the centuries' greatest scientific minds. Korby himself is dead, it seems, but his colleagues have made a most incredible discover -- a discovery they insist the Hood's captain see for himself. Reluctantly, the captain agrees to beam down...
Meanwhile, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise™ begins long-overdue shore leave on Tranquility Seven. James T. Kirk is looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation....until what seems like a bizarre case of mistaken identity plunges Kirk into a whirlpool of mayhem and murder.
And puts an inhuman stranger with his memories and anilities in command of the Enterprise.

3.5 Stars
This was a fairly good story, IF you accepted the conceit...which I couldn't really.
An evil genius builds a machine that can make an android of anyone put into it...that took all the thoughs, memories and personality of the human, and put it into an android.
I just didn't believe it...from an "in world" reason. We have Data about 90 years later...with his pluses and minuses, and it was/is obvious that he is an android.
In this story, we are to believe that the machine could make an EXACT replaca of the human...that could pass the "smell" test. Go un-noticed by ANYONE? Nah.
So, I had to figure out a way...to continue reading...without this doubt. So...I did. I didn't "buy" it, but other than that...it is an interesting story of duplicity...within the realm of Star Trek.
What IF someone "could" duplicate you (and then kill off the original)...it would be the perfect "Identity Theft".
So, it was fun.
Oh, also...the Enterprise and its crew are guarding the Neutral Zone...for the Romulans are doing maneuvers near the border (as they do).
It was fun to put our favourite characters in these different situations.
Captain Kirk, being himself...an the other...and how one being brash and bold was a positive, while the other...it just didn't work.
Overall, it was a "good" story, but not stellar.”
