Reactions and Reviews

1998

“The Stardate was 2222.5 and the Starship Enterprise had just lost her Captain.”

With this chilling statement Charla draws you irrevocably into Time Passage. Kirk’s shuttle has disappeared. While the stunned crew searches, their Captain crash lands thirteen years into the future at a remote outpost manned only by a young research assistant and her blind, ailing professor. Spock, who has lost his precious vision in a battle resulting from his frantic search for his friend, has also almost lost all hope.

The reunion is bittersweet, as Spock’s love for his newfound friend crashes headlong into his duty to that younger Captain and the grieving Vulcan he left behind. Should he take what he has found — after thirteen lonely years— or risk all to recapture that which is only a possibility?

The choice made, Spock doesn’t bother to hide his tears as he sends Kirk back to his younger, harder self. “He has need of you.” [1]

During a battle between Kirk’s shuttle and an enemy scoutship, a time vortex has been created. When the blast settles both ships seem to have been destroyed but Kirk’s shuttle was thrown 13 years into the future and he crashlands on the planet they were orbiting then. Spock, never having given up hope and after turning blind, has taken a scientific post on that planet. They meet …. The only constant is Spock, thanks for small favors. The author portrays a feminine Kirk, or how showbiz tended to portray females in the past and perhaps still does; crying, fickle in their decisions, letting emotions have the upper hand. That’s how Kirk seems to react. Not exactly my taste. She does a good job at portraying Spock, though. [2]
