Reactions and Reviews
"Footprints in the Sand" by Joan Verba is a fascinating adventure on a desert planet with ghosts. As usual, one of Verba's favorite themes - Spock's development of his self-awareness and emotions - plays a part in the proceedings and her subtle characterization scenes are the best moments. Kirk and McCoy's ordeal in the sandstorm also gives us some fine glimpses into the Doctor's personality. M.R.O. Ludwig's illos for this are interesting as they show us the Big Three in turbans and robes. I'm a student of the Middle East and I loved the thought of Spock looking like Lawrence of Arabia. [1]
