Reactions and Reviews

1989

I liked the way this began, and I liked the fact that even though the aliens were never seen, their benevolence was clear. Spock's insistence that Kirk be notified so he wouldn't worry was a good illustration of Spock's concern for Kirk outweighing his concern for himself.

This story caught my eye right from the beginning. It peaked my curiosity by not letting on who was the injured person. Well, being a nosey person I just had to find out who was injured and to do so I had to read on. By the time I had figured out who was the injured person I was hooked. My favorite part of the story was Kirk's technique for waking Spock from the Healing Trance. Unique to say the least, but very effective. I also liked Spock's sense of humor. I always knew he had one and 1 love it when authors such as Charlotte are able to bring his humor out.
