It was published in the print zine Berengaria #1.
Reactions and Reviews
Space battles, aliens on board murdering everyone, and generally wretched writing.[1]
On the other hand [see the entire review on the Berengaria Fanlore page for context], APOSTASY seemed to convey best of the three items in this issue the flavor of an actual Star Trek episode, in contrast to the purely short story technique used for CHALLENGES. It wasn't hard to visualize things happening on a mental television screen and the dialog flowing through the ears as I read it. If I have any specific criticism, it's based on the effect of a series of crises in more or less separate form, rather than a group of related crises which automatically grow out of one another. Maybe this effect would disappear if the story were translated to a filmed hour of television where those climaxes would be interrupted for commercials. [2]
