The Vulcan Too Affair is a 66-page adult het crossover novel. It was written by Randie Cowan and illustrated by Charlene Kirby.
This fanzine is a story where Saavik crashlands on Earth and is discovered by MFU. Thrush's newest device for world domination works a bit better than anticipated. Not only will it shoot down satellites and jets, it captures passing spaceships as well.
Reactions and Reviews
'In ‘The Vulcan Too Affair,’ Saavik meets the Men from U.N.C.L.E.. She was part of a research survey team investigating the ruins that could lead to new breakthroughs in ion propulsion drives. The survey team is captured by Kzinti, and they must prevent the new discoveries from falling into their feline hands. The Kzinti ship is later accidently shot down by Thrush terrorists who were aiming at a commercial jetliner when they snagged the cloaked spaceship. Saavik survives only because she was put in stasis. Uncle and Thrush agents rush to the site of the crash, and Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin get there first. In ‘Beforeword, ‘ Randie states ‘there is no time travel sequence anywhere, anywhen, nor anyhow.’ Yet she gives no explanation of how 23rd century space traveler can meet ‘60s spies. In her afterward, she admits, ‘yes, there are two loose ends (that I know of) in the first story, and if I get around to finally writing the sequel, I’ll explain them. If I never get around to finishing that story, just tell yourself that Saavik got rid of the loose ends.’ Cop out! Saavik was injured by a Kzinti before she was tossed into stasis. Illya is the one who finds her, and Saavik mind-melds with him to learn his language (?) and to get her bearings straight. Soon after that she falls into a healing trance, and when she wakes from it, her first words to Illya are not ‘hit me.’ The lovemaking that follows is very well done. Intense, but not crass or crude. But there should have been an age statement somewhere in the zine, and I wasn’t asked for one when I bought it. There is almost nothing in the way of illustrations, but there is a handful of some beautiful portrait work of Saavik, Illya, and Napoleon done with pencils, and a cute cartoon. The only problem with the printing is that the i’s are almost indistinguishable from the l’s. On the whole, it’s a good zine, even if it isn’t really finished yet, and anyone interested in Saavik or The Man from U.N.C.L.E. should pick it up. [1]
