From the Story's Preface
The first part of this, THE SEED, begins with a much-changed Spock, bereft of his "soul brother" by Kirk's sudden death, and releasing his "life force" to join him. He is suddenly confronted with Jennifer Williams, the daughter James Kirk never knew he'd had.He journeys to see her, compelled to know this child of the man he'd loved so many years, and is faced with a being ironically similar to the father she'd never known. Spock is catapulted into a maelstrom of emotional/ sexual tension; unable, at first, to retrieve his grip on reality, he becomes obsessed with the need to relive the life he might have had with Kirk had either of them been able to admit to the physical passion between them.
Jennifer herself, young and vulnerable, is alternately attracted and repelled by the formidable Vulcan; she is unaware that the chains which seem to bind her to Spock were forged half a century ago, in a different time and place. The story now continues ...
