Summary
From the zine: Counterpoint #2 11/1989: “When the Enterprise responds to a distress call, they discover a colony where everyone has died except for a Human/Vulcan infant who forms a child/parent bond with Kirk, to the chagrin of his bondmate, Spock.”
Reactions and Reviews
1990
Ms. Marsh has once again written a very entertaining story. I wanted to take Kirk and shake him for his insensitivity to his bondmate. I felt sorrow for Spock when he made his painful offer to Kirk. But, at last, our Captain came through and convinced his bondmate of his true intentions and love. The conversation regarding their union not really being sterile was great. I guess I liked this story because it showed that even when two people love each other they can still have problems in their relationship. [1]
1991
I think this story would have been far more interesting if there had been more focus on what is undoubtedly a very extraordinary child. This child was able to reach out telepathically to Kirk while he was still in space to give Kirk the overwhelming urge to beam down to that planet and find her. I don’t think that very many Vulcan adults would be capable of doing that. So it was disappointing to me that the author chose to concentrate on the mundane and predictable conflict between parenting and the spousal relationship instead of on T’Serra herself. This could have been done through the link between Kirk and T’Serra. Such telepathic contact would have made the entire situation more vivid to the reader. Also, I found it puzzling that after an apparently long-time established K/S relationship that Kirk was still “virtually untrained” in the Vulcan mind techniques. Why would Spock allow Kirk to remain in such ignorance? Surely he would give Kirk as much training as he could, as soon as possible. [2]
