For the week of June 12, 1988, Timetrap was the fifth-best-selling paperback book on The New York Times Best Seller list. The novel originally sold for {{US$|3.95|1988}}. Timetrap is Pocket's 40th numbered novel from the retronymed Star Trek: The Original Series. Simon & Schuster released an e-book version in September 2000.
The plot of the novel concerns Captain Kirk's kidnapping and brainwashing by Klingons to believe that he's time-traveled 100 years into his future. Ellen Cheeseman-Meyer, writing for Tor.com, described the story as dealing with the philosophy of perception and "drugs. Lots and lots of drugs."
