Reactions and Reviews

1984

... stories by Kate Daniels are what I think of as cerebral action stories, where almost all the action, apart from the obvious, takes place in the minds and verbal exchanges of the characters. As this is my favourite form of K/S, I read these stories with special interest.

'Last Night Is the Night' ... takes place exactly seven years after Spock's first Pon Parr, and is concerned with the trauma and solution of his second. It is a satisfying story with some nice humorous dialogue. There is a lovely scene where both Kirk and Spock are in a state of extreme panic and an original theory about the true nature of Pon Farr which is different but credible.[1]

"Last Night is the Night" by Kate Daniels. Reluctantly, Kirk realizes he's the only solution to Spock's second pon farr. A believable battle of wills ensues. The writer's skillful use of language portrays events sensitively and her view of pon farr is not the standard, lust-filled marathon. I did feel a bit cheated, because we alternated between Kirk's & Spock's points of view until the 2 men fell asleep. Afterwards, we heard only from Kirk. [2]
