Reactions and Reviews
1993
This story is full of lovely ideas! Spock as a thief in the night is terrific!
I love his distinguished behavior and his dialogues with Kirk are really great.
Very(!) disappointing was the "white space" [1] p. 88 between the scene where Kirk is going to be seduced and Spock's leaving in the morning, instead of the anxiously awaited lovemaking! [2]
1994
This was a delightful scenario, quite fun.Kirk is a businessman. We come upon him as he goes to the Komack Corp. in the middle of the night, and signs in as Christopher Pike. We don't know what mission he's on, but he's after company secrets. He runs into Spock in the deserted offices. Spock is a gorgeous, classically suave cat-burglar type.
I don't think the word "alien" would be used in Kirk's observations of Spock. It doesn't seem to me that word would be much used in the future, especially among space-going people-we're all aliens if we're elsewhere than our home planet.
They get on fabulously right away, and leave together. Kirk invites him in for coffee. Nice sexy scene in his apartment, but then the bed-scene is skipped entirely, and Spock is gone the next morning. It's left open-ended, but of course they will seek each other out again.
It turns out Kirk works for Nogura.
I liked this, a unique story. [3]
This story was delightful. Well written, by an author I don't recognize and would like to see more of. Kirk and Spock in a business setting but cat burglars. A hoot. Well worth reading. A sequel is definitely called for. [4]
1995
Fun story where we first meet Kirk — elegant, suave and sophisticated — in the luxurious Komack Corporation building. It is nighttime and the building is deserted. He goes into an office and encounters Spock—elegant, suave and sophisticated—who happens to be a burglar.
They have some clever, witty, sophisticated conversation and then they go back to Kirk's apartment. I won't reveal the clever, witty, elegant, suave and sophisticated ending, but this is a really neat little gem of a story. [5]
