Reactions and Reviews

Vignette of Kirk and Spock dying together in a last meld as their vessel disintegrates around them and a mysterious force retains life support just long enough for them to share a tearful farewell. [1]

Another beautiful, emotional affecting story. Mr. Randolph is a very fine writer.[2]

Touching death scene. At least they got their wish -- neither was left behind. Too bad there couldn't have been an illo. [3]

Normally, I don't like death stories, but this is kind I can accept: the two of them going together. [4]
