Reactions and Reviews
Aftermath of "Paradise Syndrome." Spock forces a meld to allow Kirk to accept and grieve Miramanee's loss. The team play gods to minimize contamination of the Amerindian culture, with Kirk designating Salish - beaten half to death by the crowd hoping to please the god - as the medicine chief and an umarriageable girl as priestess. Believable interpretation. [1]
"The Sword At the Gate", by Jane Aumerle, art by Virginia Jacobsen, is a very well done sequel to "The Paradise Syndrome", and Virginia's art is very good and highly reminiscent of Joni Wagner's style. The epilogue to this story was performed at SeKWester*Con, with Gerry reading the lines aloud while the story was done In Indian Sign Language. This portion of the zine could have been more imaginatively laid-out, but the piece Is still powerful. [2]
'Sword at the Gate' was the only Good Story in the zine -- a well-balanced, well-paced plot, believable and consistent characterization. It is an anti-Paradise Syndrome story, part of which was dramatized by Gerry and Dorothy Martin at SeKWester*Con, Too. [3]
"The Sword at the Gate" is an excellent "after" story dealing with Kirk following Miramanee's death. It's passionate, and insightful. [4]
