Reactions and Reviews
Probably the most unpleasant picture of McCoy's wife and his marriage that you will ever read. Interesting picture of a strong, long-time friendship between McCoy and Montgomery Scott.[2]
Well, I did wonder why the great Dr. McCoy joined Starfleet. 'Just on old country doctor' -- huh! This story tells it all. He could have gone on to become a great scientist but he dallied and was caught in the age-old trap. He has regretted it ever since. Humphr! Could have saved himself a lot of heartache if he had dumped her. I don't like Sarah but Joanna redeems that. And the heart-torn, world-wise doctor is the one we can respect, isn't it. This short work can be expanded. The author perhaps should revive it and make some passages more coherent. The time scale is also confusing.[3]
