This is a Classic Trek sine containing 5 short stories. Dispeople, by Glyn and Lynda Probert, was originally printed in Log Entries 52, and in an Emanon [1] zine at the same time. A planet in danger of exploitation has its own method of defence. Family Crisis by Oreil Cooper, has also been published before, but in a very small circulation zine; it tells of a worrying time for Amanda as Sarek is taken ill. Confrontation, by Rod Summers, relates a further encounter between Kirk and Kang. In Rick Daystrom, by John A. Mariani, Dr. Daystrom's son has to deal with another of his father's experiments, while Going Home, by Steve Farthing, is a postscript to STV.This is a good variety of stories, and they are generally well written. I would question why Kang and his wife would have been in a Penal Colony; even today civilised societies don't treat enemy soldiers at criminals without good reason, and from the description given, the change In his character would seem to be mental rather than moral. However, the story itself is good action adventure.
As with all BSFR publications, the production of the zine is excellent. There is a dramatic glossy cover by Rod Summers, and internal illos by Simon Lewis. [2]
