Reactions and Reviews
Starting into pon farr, Spock finds that he is drawn to Miranda ("Is There In Truth No Beauty"). Miranda and Kollos - after some reluctance on Miranda's part - agree to do what needs to be done to save Spock, but end up caught in each other's heads. McCoy solves the dilemma by having Spock look at Kollos, to shock him out of the meld. [1]
The third story, a new version of the eternal-triangle theme,is by Matthew Brown. The triangle consists of Spock, Miranda and Kollos and gives rise to all sorts of fascinating speculations - for instance, how would a threeway mindmeld fare if it was forced into permanence? How far would the component minds stay individual? Miranda Jones, an inadequate, selfpitying bitch in the STAR TREK episode, is here convincingly shown to have matured into a far more love-able woman, and comes through the testing of this new maturity as a fine human being. The Kirk/Spock/McCoy relationship, so often reduced to the level of a threeway schoolchild crush, is also handled well. [2]
