Reactions and Reviews

1983

The second part of a story by Eva Stuart (a new promising writer), begun in Classified Assignments 2, is completed here. This two parter has the flavor of Renault, and although it could have could have at hand at editing, it still held up as something a lot different than the usual.

1985

Though it is not stated this story is a sequel to "Love's War" in CLASSIFIED ASSIGNMENTS 2 and it helps greatly to understand this story if you have read the latter. In "Love's War" Kirk & Spock went into Klingon territory disguised as Romulans to help a young Klingon king, Kriton. Kriton's childhood friend, protector & Military Governor, Kyleth, committed suicide. Now in "The Legacy" the king is alone. He sends for Kirk & Spock to help rescue his wife for, if it becomes known to the general populace that his wife has been kidnapped, he will lose their respect. The mission proves hazardous for all concerned. To give away too much of the plot of this long, poignant story would be to ruin it. Suffice it to say that it si written with care & attention to detail equalled by few. The psychological aspects are, as always, intriguing with the characters learning more of themselves & how to assuage their feelings of guilt, both real & imaginary. This is also the first story set in the house of Aulos, a place where they can be alone together & be themselves--two beings in love--on a planet where IDIC prevails.
