Reactions and Reviews: The Series

Stories by Lynette Muir, a well respected writer. I especially enjoyed Check to Kul Oba in #1, Once upon a Time in #2, Outworlder Amok, and Hell Said the Vulcan in #3 and Flawlessly Logical in #4. As there are excellent stories in all of the IDICs, rather than go into each synopsis, I can recommend all four zines as well worth reading. They are a nice mixture of serious and less serious. [1]
