"Gift of the Masters of Times" (p.5-28) / Juanita Salicrup

Crossroads Series

Long after the deaths of Kirk and McCoy, a disabled Captain Spock is contemplating his future when some genies... oh, er, Time Masters... offer to reward his basic wonderfulness by granting him one change in time. He chooses to rescue Zarabeth. An interesting dilemma and resolution.

"Equal Time" (p.31-34) / Mindy Glazer

Feldman Series

Kirk has had about all he can take of Christmas and its equivalents among his religiously diverse crew, when a suggestion box appears. Entertaining.

"To Lead, To Follow" (p.36-65) / Jean L. Stevenson

Vulcan History Series

A Surak tale.

"And All My Days Before Me" (p.68-77) / Ingrid Cross

McCoy Series

Two years after "For the World Is Hollow," Enterprise heads for the Yonadans' new planet, as promised, and McCoy and Natira must decide what to do about their marriage. Good Spock & McCoy characterization without smarm, and a realistic dilemma and solution for the couple.

"A Winter's Dawn" (p.81-101) / Fern Marder & Carol Walske

Nu Ormenal Series

A story of Kor's life and death.

* "Afro-Disiac" (p.105-111) / Winston Howlett

Uhura Series

Uhura, her lover Tai, McCoy and Tonia Barrows find themselves fleeing a mob after failing to interpret local gestures on shore leave. Witty writing, and a nice touch is that Howlett never does explain the mystery signals.

* "Soliloquy" (p.112) / Ingrid Cross

Poem. McCoy contemplates the irony of being the last survivor of the three, Kirk and Spock having died protecting him. Vivid, with the very interesting point that McCoy may have "sealed his fate" - his much-feared loneliness - by letting his friends view him as more defenseless than they.

"The Sun-King's Shadow" (p.113-120) / Anne Elizabeth Zeek

Romulan Cytherean Cycle Series

** "The Bronze Cord" (p.123-155) / Leslye Lilker

Sahaj series

Two years after Spock has taken Sahaj from his foster father Jeremy Gill to put him in the care of Sarek and Amanda, Gill has become ambassador to Vulcan in hopes of being near the boy again. Enterprise is taking him there, and all the crew conspire to keep Gill and Spock from coming to blows. Delightful writing, excellent characterization for both the new and familiar players. Nice touch in this one is the game of Olympic Chess that runs through Gill's mind at opportune moments throughout the story.
