Reactions and Reviews

1989

A really good Mirror Universe story. I liked the picture of Kirk as the slum boy sent to the Academy to become a spy. And the instant rapport between him and Spock was almost the only reason two such disparate people could become friends. The delicate balance of their friendship in that place was handled extremely well. I'd like to see a sequel. [1]

2021

5/5.This was quite enjoyable. The rape scene was quick and not too detailed. I enjoyed the worldbuilding, too.[2]
