Reactions and Reviews

Della Van Hise's powerful story produced so much 'hate mail' - as she called it - that she felt compelled to write a sequel in which they were reunited - her readers could not bear the idea of Spock being killed and Kirk left alone. [1]

"Forever Autumn" has Kirk on the shore leave planet confronted by Spock, or an android of the Vulcan, with whom Kirk tries to release his pain of loss. Spock tells him that: "'It will never end, for it is only beginning. You have shown me that love never dies - regardless of the personal hardships we must bear along the way.'" [2]
