Fan Comments
Jennifer Guttridge's sophomoric, possibly junioric, attempt to inject religious zealotry into Star Trek. Although her story had strong passages and above-average crafting, I found it not very believable — sorry. [1]
I just got the new Star Trek Today and it was well worth the wait... My especial kudos to Jennifer Guttridge for a superb story, "Tale of a Sleepless Spirit" was a very good handling of the controversial subject,and the last paragraph were simply beautiful - the best philosophical solution to the question that I've yet seen in Trek fiction. First class all around. [2]
