Summary
"Already upset over almost sending Spock to his death, the situation on New Paris is too much like Tarsus Four for Kirk to deal with without his loverʼs help."
Reactions and Reviews
Post-Galileo 7 story dealing with Kirk's self-loathing on New Paris, comparing himself to Kodos to impose order on a starving populace riddled by plague. Spock helps him through the crisis, which further strengthens their love. Very sensual and believable established relationship tale, very intense. [1]
Frances Rowes showed her gift for portraying inner divisions in "To Be a Help Mate For Him", in which Kirk's necessarily harsh enforcement of quarantine during a plague on New Paris caused him to compare himself to Kodos. Reading about how Kirk works out this self-image problem with the help of Spock in quite fascinating. Kate Daniels does remarkably well in both her stories. [2]
