Reactions and Reviews
1982
‘Windmills of the Mind’ – yet another sequel story which easily stands on its own. Amanda is, surprisingly, the focus of this tale of Kirk and Spock’s bonding problems, and she is handled superbly here. Joined with a good intelligent look at the difficulties that would be involved in meshing the lives and personalities of two such different people, it makes this story the best crafted in the zine, and so earns best of zine award.

My personal favourite but I confess to being a [Billie Phillips] fan. This is the second part of a story wherein Kirk and Spock are lovers and bonded but neither is being honest with each other about the depth of the bond. They lose trust in each other because Spock breaks the bond when he thinks death is imminent. This second part mainly covers Amanda's musings about her relationships with the three men in her life and her own death. [Billie Phillips] provides us with her usual mature psychological analysis and the story moves on to explain how Kirk and Spock, in the light of Amanda's thoughts and fears, resolve their own differences.
