Reactions and Reviews
Kirk's unease about a mission to Camus II (of Turnabout Intruder) is borne out when a vengeful mad scientist (in league with Klingons) traps Spock into using a machine that allows him to take over his mind. Spock fights him off with the help of Scott's blocking devices and a meld with Kirk. Used up a lot of plot devices... but good characterization makes for a pleasant read. [1]
'From Out of the Past' is a true ST episode material: the characters are perfect, the plot full of turns, and the suspense is edge-of-the-chair. It ends a bit too quickly, a couple more pages would have allowed the reader to calm down a bit before the end, that that's a minor criticism of a story that has profession polish and tautness, and real ST quality. When the series comes back to TV, GR should look at this one! [2]
