Reactions and Reviews

Fun farce of Spock's trials and tribulations as the rest of the bridge crew go slowly stir-crazy when they are denied leave on - but have to stay in orbit around - Wrigley's Pleasure Planet. [1]

"No Credit, All Credit" by Tina Pole, is a delightfully humourous story of events on the ENTERPRISE that take place when they are denied shore leave at Wrigley's Pleasure Planet because of an error in the crew's credit rating. McCoy's remark, "That's just bloody marvelous!" may strike the North American reader as odd, and I did wonder whether the author intended "football" to mean soccer ball rather than the American football in Gordon Carleton's illustration, but such things, to me, add flavor to the story. The characterization is believable, and the story is well-written. [2]
