Reactions and Reviews

"To Weather a Storm" by Jody Crouse -- An omnipotent computer runs amok and using severe weather conditions as its weapon. Interesting premise, good action. [1]

"To Weather a Storm" was well thought out, and the ending was terrific. Mother Nature would be proud of Jody Crouse. "Only the Sound Remains," by Linda McInnis, was also well written, and her characters interacted well with each other. The storyline was unusual enough to grab my interest. I have enjoyed reading all the stories. Keep it up.[1]

Jody Crouse's "To Weather a Storm" was full of action and adventure. And it must have been 'fascinating' to Spock to find he had a fish tail in Linda McInnis story, "Only the Sound Remains." It certainly was a very interesting situation.[1]

Jody Crouse's "To Weather a Storm" -- This story never got me. From the beginning, it was just an exercise in turning pages. It read like a video game: Kirk and Spock are at point A and traveling to point B. On their way, things will assail them. Upon reaching point B, Spock will assess the situation and save the day. There was never any kind of dramatic tension necessary in these kinds of stories. the denouement, to put it plainly, sucked. It was trite and cliched. McCoy's pun at the end was truly awful. [1]

Jody Crouse's "To Weather a Storm" was a good, solid adventure. [1]
