Reactions and Reviews

STAR CHILD is an attractive story despite its spoilt-bitch heroine who I found totally unsympathetic. The story itself has considerable interest, being well plotted with a good understanding of the STAR TREK characters. Its stylistic pretensions are nil, but the prose is clear and simple. The illustrations, in charcoal and ink, have suffered in reproduction. (I'm not being kind; I did them, so I know!) [1]
