Reactions and Reviews
Spock, a lieutenant on the Cavalier, confronts the Toyers, energy critters greedily feeding on the crew's emotions by creating horrific hallucinations and heedless of the catastrophic results. Spock has escaped his rigid Vulcan upbringing and allowed himself more emotion in his new life in Starfleet, only to find now that he must fall back on his logic not only to survive the attack but to wall off the emotional aftermath of his captain's death. Leslie's usual powerful writing.[1]
