Summary
From the publisher: "After his long and relatively happy marriage to Gary Mitchell begins to fall apart, James Kirk realises that he's falling - hard - for his Teaching Assistant... a young Vulcan named Spock. However, after thirty-two astounding years together as friends, lovers, co-commanders, and spouses, Jim finds it hard to let go of what he and Gary Mitchell-Kirk have, even though the bond he feels with Spock touches his very soul. His reputation as a distinguished and intrepid starship commander was legendary, yet away from the limelight and constant acclaim, the personal life of Admiral James T. Kirk seems marked by a powerful and ultimately epic struggle as he becomes inextricably trapped between loyalty and desire."
