Reactions and Reviews
This zine consists of two stories: The Wheel Turns and Ultimatum, both of which are a delight for fans of the hurt/comfort syndrome. In The Wheel Turns, Kirk suffers from amnesia after a shuttle crashes and is child-like and utterly dependent on Spock, who has to hide their identity until rescue comes. Ultimatum poses Spock a dilemma which he is unable to resolve without resorting to a drastic solution. You will need tissues for both these stories, but we all know Valerie well enough to be sure of a happy ending.[1]
