Reactions and Reviews
Stories range from the delightful 'Woe to Him Who is Along' which shows us Kirk and Spock helping and being helped by a new alien and his friend, a half-flesh, half-machine ship. The aliens are well thought out though I did wonder who would babysit with Tohbee if Kaylin went out drinking. People that dependent on physical touch might not do too well in space. [1]
I have read very few of these [zines], but so far have only found one story worth re-reading. That is "Woe to Him Who is Alone" by Linda White. This is a well thought-out story involving an ancient Vulcan holy relic, Klingons, and a humanoid alien whose 'other half' is his living ship. There is such tenderness in this tale and I found it quite delightful. [2]
Klingons have captured one member of a man/ship pair from another galaxy; finding it unmanageable, they send it to a planet where it terrorizes an archaeological team who call in the Enterprise. Trapped in a cave-in, Spock and Kirk establish rapport with the creature, which broadcasts its feelings. Reunited, the man/ship helps them deal with the Klingons and they help repair the man/ship for its return home. [3]
