Reactions and Reviews

'The 24th Year: Talismans In The Night' by Janna Steele once more brings in the difficult subject of life and death when Kirk finagles himself and Spock back aboard the Enterprise to retrieve a new ambassador who claims to be over 300 years old. He claims he‘s lived so long because he doesn‘t believe in death. The subject of immortality is handled adroitly, forcing Kirk especially to look death in the face.
