Reactions and Reviews
In 'Not To Reason Why' by Audrey Baker, Spock mistakenly believes that Kirk has ordered him to get out of a tight spot by committing suicide. The blind trust with which Spock obeys, and Kirk's agonised reflections when he realises the misunderstanding, beautifully delineate a relationship that has always been one of this author's strong points. With her articulate, forthright style, she brings poetry to the page without sentimentality. If here she doesn't quite rise to the great heights of the classic 'Lost Decade', well, who does? [1]
Art [in this zine] ranges from hilarious cartoons to Hunter's superb pile of monstrous sf creatures topped by the "dead" Spock of Audrey Baker's "Not To Reason Why." This is one of the two serious stories, and concerns Spock's capture by a sadistic planet doctor for certain experiments, and Kirk's and McCoy's tricks to free him. [2]
