Reactions and Reviews
1982
Kirk has died, and Spock is totally bereft, contemplating his own death. Then he learns of the existence of Kirk’s daughter, who he promptly heads out in search of, even though he has been informed she does not wish to meet him. It is not completely clear whether the author felt this pair would be a total mismatch; she does hint at the end that the two will end up together, whether this will be good for the young woman or not. Also, it is a good thing the author establishes at the beginning that Spock’s mental facilities have been negatively affected by Kirk’s death because otherwise the impression one gets of Spock being played by a sex-starved Tony Randall would ruin any legitimacy of the characterization has.

...its concept is (to me) so ghastly. Following Kirk's death his daughter comes out of the woodwork and Spock, as executor of Kirk's will goes to see her. What he finds is a girl who attracts him, being as it were, a surrogate Kirk (with whom he had never had a sexual relationship). Never in a million years can I see Spock behaving as he is portrayed in this story... but Marcella Benton does and that after all is what really matters. [2]
