Reactions and Reviews

This is one of the most enjoyable zines I have read for a long time. The story follows on from The Trouble With Tribbles and examines the result of Scotty's decision to give the tribbles to the Klingons, a decision which backfires on the Enterprise. What follows is a Spock/Kirk/McCoy relationship story mixed with a liberal dose of 'It's a Knockout', and I am going to give no more plot away. If I have not already whetted your appetite, I will say that the zine is touching and funny by turns, characterisation is enjoyable, I did not guess what was going to happen, and I read the story at one sitting, ie. I started it just before midnight after a late film, and carried on reading to the end. This is one for the collection. (P.S. Brenda - what about a sequel????)

I have enjoyed an of Brenda Kelsey's work that I have read. I like the way she portrays the Kirk/Spock/McCoy relationship and her interpretation of the character of Spock. Her story ideas are interesting and she has the ability to keep the reader guessing...

I will be watching for more of Brenda's work.

Fine romp. With Enterprise in quarantine after the tribble trouble, Spock becomes gamesmaster while one of the diplomatic group makes trouble. A delightful read.
