Reactions and Reviews

Charming if implausible tale of Jim and Spock, as two lonely little boys, making mental contact so that "Pock" becomes Jimmy's "imaginary playmate." When the boys are teenagers, Jim is running the family farm and looking after his mother, who has been paralyzed in a farm accident, and Spock flees Vulcan after the show-down with his father. He seeks Jim out, goes to work on the farm, and eventually reveals his identity and the boys become lovers.

This was a different kind of story, well written and entertaining.

What a wonderful story! When I started it, I didn't find a two year old Kirk blaming a broken object on his invisible friend, Pock, very promising. Yet it developed into a heart-rending a/u in which Kirk and Spock come together because they've been denied the stars. I particularly liked the way the authors portrayed Kirk's extremely ambivalent feelings over having to care for his paralyzed mother, and the irony of how Kirk's mother, who had dismissed Spock as an imaginary playmate, ended up calling him "Pock" as her two year old son had.
