Reactions and Reviews

1991

I found this to be an amazing bit of writing. It was original, intriguing, and captivating. I liked the way we saw this Kirk and Spock through the Queen's eyes. This is one of Karla Kelly's best efforts. Tightly written, concise, and with just the right amount of mystery. [1]

2006

Queen Leonora the First, of some rather medieval society, is caught in a web of political intrigue, accused of allowing Kirk - now her Captain of the Guard - to escape a death sentence. Kirk and Spock had suddenly appeared in the midst of a battle to lead her forces from rout to victory over an enemy that has benefited from Klingon weaponry. Nicely poetic writing, steering clear of smarm, and an interestingly strong character in Leonora.[2]
