Reactions and Reviews

I am puzzled about why the author would write a story like this. We are shown half of a dialogue as if we were hearing one side of a phone conversation. The story includes only Kirk's words and Kirk's thoughts. Why exclude Spock's words and thoughts? Is it experimentation for the sake of experimenting? I don't think this is a successful experiment. Not only do I miss Spock's presence, but it was necessary for the author to summarize what Spock had said in Kirk's responses so the readers could make sense of the story. This makes for rather stilted conversation.
