Summary

"Kirk dreams of killing an A/U Spock while in Tholian space."

Excerpt

"Spock laid his stylus hastily aside. He had been tapping it on the arm of the command chair. He became aware, uncomfortable so, of Uhura's eyes on the back of his head. She alone on the bridge was sensitive to his mood and Spock, although he appreciated her concern, wished she would not react so disconcertingly. He had a strong urge to turn around and return her stare. Restless, he stood and moved to the science station, peering into the scanner without knowing what it was he saw. His mind was preoccupied with thought of the captain. Ever since Kirk had been retrieved from Tholian space, the captain had been acting strangely."

Reactions and Reviews

REFLECTIONS IN A WARPED MIRROR is an A/U story that really isn't. Kirk has a very vivid dream In which an alternate version of himself mistreats an alternate version of Spock in ways that threaten Kirk's waking reality. Again, the solution to the dilemma Is predictable, but this is a very unusual story with a satisfactory solution. An interesting read.

REFLECTIONS IN A WARPED MIRROR began in another era and my taste doesn't normally run to warrior stories, but since T'Hera Snaider turned this one into a dream of sorts, it was more to my liking and does give the reader a sample of both worlds.
