Reactions and Reviews
1988
BEG THE LIGHTNING TO STRIKE by Addison Reed is basically a re-telling of THE APPLE with a few K/S twists thrown in. This is an enjoyable, if unimaginative story written with Addison's usual flair for detail and good dialogue. [1]
1990
I loved this story. Series-related are about my favorite anyway, and this one was great. I had to go watch THE APPLE again just for the one part to SEE if Spock was stroking Kirk's back; I wanted to see it! And it was so terrific how what we saw in the show was "explained" and enhanced in this story. She really did a wonderful job on this. [2]
