Reactions and Reviews
"A Matter of Life and Death" (C. Wedgett) is the only "adult" story in the zine, and it is also the longest. Artwork is by Empey. It centers around Spock and a human female by the name of Francesca Mikolaides. A prominent archeologist, Francesca had married a Vulcan, but after a tragic incident involving her husband's Pon Farr, she is ostracized by the Vulcan community. The Enterprise is assigned to transport her and her team to a new research site and she of course encounters Spock. The archeological site proves to be fascinating to Spock and he requests to stay. The Enterprise continues on and a delay sets them behind on their pick-up schedule. Then an avalanche then kills the other members of the team, leaving Spock and Francesca alone for five weeks. Besides their mutual dislike for each other, Spock has miscalculated on an important matter which they both must face. [1]
