Reactions and Reviews

1996

RUBY SANDS is a long and intriguing story, very complex, of Kirk and Spock going back into Vulcan's past to discover-their alternate universe selves. They travel out into the desert (nicely depicted) in an attempt to bring the warrior Kirk and Spock together and set the time line straight. Despite some difficulties of not quite being sure where they are or how they got there. Robin creates a wonderful depiction of the band of warriors and the tribes along with very exciting trials and tribulations as K and S go on their journey. Wait, there's more! Some wonderful art work — Susan Dundas drew an illo accompanying a -story showing naked K and S bound and chained.
