Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: The Gemini Agent by Rick Barba

Author Rick Barba brings us back to the Kelvin timeline with this Starfleet Academy book the Gemini Agent. It's near the end of the first year for Cadet Kirk and his fellow students and they are preparing for the biggest test that they could have before summer break and the next school year begins. The Zeta test which is a starfleet battle simulation. During this time Kirk, McCoy, Uhura meet a woman who clams to be Vulcan but is in fact working for the Romulans. The Gemini project infects Kirk with a virus that tries to copy his personality and transmit that copy to the Neutral Zone.

Later during the Zeta test Kirk finds on his tactical screen a Romulan ship in among all of the starfleet vessels and puts two and two together. As the Romulan spy leaves she hands him a data cube filling him in on all that she can about what the Gemini project is really about. This is an interesting Romulan story and it has several characters that we meet in the 2009 film. I do recommend this book to all who like Star Trek or science fiction books.
