Romp. The exquisitely seductive Ambassadress Antroi of Lytia arrives for negotiations. However, first she must test the courage of each of the reception committee - Sulu, Spock, McCoy, Kirk and Scotty (in order). As McCoy puts it, "'Make love, not war!' Someone finally took it literally!" All pass the test (Spock cheats with a nerve pinch/mind meld combo), but Scott proves the bravest.[1]

'The Ambassadress' is fun. Antoi, enticing and sultry, personally tests the ah... virtues and connubial merits of the Big Four. And Spock cheats!!.[2]
‘The Ambassadress’ is … Ah well, I must admit I don’t know what to say about this one. The Ambassadress from Lytia is on the Enterprise to test her welcoming committee which consists of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty and Sulu. It turns out that on Lytia, the men prove their courage in bed and are judged by how well they please women. I will say this much: the readers will like the way Spock ‘gets out of it with dignity.’ [3]
Trailing up the latter pages is a delightful, if not somewhat lascivious, story called 'The Ambassadress.' In this story, an ambassadress from potential Federation trade planet, comes aboard to 'test' the performance of the welcoming committee Kirk has prepared for her. The 'test' involves sexual performance, which has been developed into a surrogate for warfare on her planet. The whole story is treated with a certain tongue-in-cheek attitude. The feeling I got while reading it was one of 'we know this couldn't happen, but isn't it fun to imagine?' which is just perfect for this type of story. The artwork and other illustrations inside are well above average and there are sheets of onionskin paper between the full page offset illos inside so the ink doesn't smear on the other pages... nice touch.[4]
"The Ambassadress", "trying out the sexual prowess of the welcoming committee (Spock, Kirk, McCoy, Sulu and Scott).[5]
