In 2168, a copy of the book was left on the planet Sigma Iotia II by a crew member of the starship Horizon. The book, which remained on the surface of the planet after the Horizon landing party had departed, was later discovered by the native Iotians, a highly imitative race. The Iotians reinvented their entire society based on the information in the book, thinking it was the model for a perfect society. Iotians treated The Book, as they called it, with near-religious reverence, and did not tolerate any disrespect against it. Copies of The Book could be found everywhere in Iotian society, including the headquarters of every major Boss. (TOS: "A Piece of the Action" )

  • Dans les années 2160, une copie de ce livre fut laissée sur la planète Sigma Iotia II par un membre d'équipage du vaisseau Horizon. Le livre fut, plus tard, étudié par les Iotians, une espèce extrêmement imitative. Les Iotiens réinventèrent ainsi leur société entière en fonction des informations décrites par le livre, considérant celui-ci comme un modèle de société parfaite et comme une référence quasi-religieuse.

  • ECS Horizon crewman Nora Melchior kept a hardcopy on a shelf in her quarters, when friend Travis Mayweather spoke to her, in private. (ENT episode: "Horizon") When the Horizon visited Sigma Iotia II in 2155, the book was traded to the Iotians by the ship's crew. (ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru) Chicago Mobs of the Twenties was a reference work used by the USS Horizon first contact team when they visited Sigma Iotia II in 2168.

  • Chicago Mobs of the Twenties was a book published in 1992 in New York. It detailed the lives of people in the city of Chicago during the 1920s when standard government broke down and crime families took over. Some of its topics were that one sometimes had to “make hits”and that “if someone argues you lean on them”. It also went into detail on the subjects of mob bosses, gang territories, and small mob groups known as “small-fries”. It may also have talked about police as Jojo Krako understood the concept of arrests.

It may also have talked about police as Jojo Krako understood the concept of arrests. In 2167, a copy of the book was left on planet Sigma Iotia II by a crewmember of the starship Horizon. After the Iotians discovered it they immediately began to immitate its contents. The contamination wasn’t discovered by the Federation until 100 years later when the USS Enterprise went to investigate the Horizon's distress call.

However, they left their copy behind when they broke orbit. (ST reference: The Worlds of the Federation, Decipher RPG module: Worlds) The Iotians viewed the society depicted in the book as ideal, and rebuilt their own accordingly, quickly adopting "the Book" as it became known as something of a cultural bible. Copies of the book are found everywhere in Iotian society, including the headquarters of every major Boss; culturally, Iotians treat the book with near-religious reverence, and tolerate no disrespect against it. The first Federation starship to see this cultural contamination into effect was the USS Enterprise (TOS episode: "A Piece of the Action"; ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru) Simon and Schuster is the parent company of Pocket Books, the licensee for Star Trek fiction from 1979 onwards.
