Reactions and Reviews

This gritty sequel to "The Red Fields" is the best federation conspiracy story that I've read in fan fiction. the motivation behind the conspiracy seemed very plausible. The fact that a new power clique wanted nothing to do with the conspiracy was also realistic. Political aims do fluctuate over time. The deft handling of high level political intrigue and the in depth portrayal of Kirk's psychological difficulties, illustrate Patricia Laurie Stephens' greatest strengths as a writer. I hope that she continues to write more stories like this one,
