Ed.: Sheila Clark, Strathmartine by Dundee, Scotland; January, 1979, 55p.
- "And the Stars Call Out" (p.3-6) /
Susan Meek
- Family vignettes of Kirk and Spock as star-struck children.
- "The Solution to the Problem" (p. 8-17) /
J.A. Clarke
- After a shuttle crash, McCoy must operate on Kirk, but has insufficient anaesthetic to complete the job. Spock and the mind meld to the rescue (as usual). Points for a fine dilemma, though.
- "Music of the Spheres" (p.18-36) /
Simone Mason
- Kirk is turned into a vegetable by alien globes who communicate by music, don’t know their own strength, and learn by sucking minds out of bodies to join with them. Spock negotiates a trade to retrieve Jim, then the two of them together meld with the aliens to explain the problem. Not very convincing writing.
- "Compulsion" (p.37-44) /
Meg Wright
- A part-Vulcan Federation observer goes off to die so her alienness won’t be discovered by the locals. Unbeknownst to her, she is such a strong telepath that she controls Spock, bringing him to her in a zombie-like condition. Interesting premise, but not much done with it.
- "The Garden" (p.46-54) /
Elizabeth M. Sharp
- The Trio encounter a scientist who has been to the edge of the Galaxy and developed the silver-eye god syndrome. He can’t resist sending Spock & McCoy out to try to get back to the safe dome, with insufficient oxygen for both of them to make it. Most interesting piece in this zine, but needed more resolution; the author saves McCoy from his dilemma by having the god-monster relent.

- "This Side of Paradise" (p. 8-10) /
Josephine Timmins
- Christine overcomes her jealousy of Leila to comfort her over her loss of Spock, pointing out that he would eventually have overcome the spores and died had he stayed on Omicron.

- On a camping trip for R&R after "The Immunity Syndrome," Spock and McCoy end up joining forces to nurse the captain through an illness, cementing their friendship.

Susan Meek
- Vignette of Kirk keeping watch at blind Spock's bedside as he recovers from the Denevan creatures.
- "Hic Est" (p.20-23) /
Meg Wright
- Everybody's got a cure for Spock's hiccups - which he shouldn't have. Cute.
- "For If Dreams Die" (p.24-36) /
Jean Barron
- Kirk manages to rescue Spock from a collapsed building, but in the process becomes infected with a dangerous pneumonia which develops when he is alone on shore leave; when Spock detects his distress mentally, they discover they have formed an unusual mind-link.
- "Transports of Delight" (p.37-41) /
Tina W. Pole
- Romp. McCoy and Chapel, testing a new intraship transporter, keep winding up at the scenes of previous episodes - the ISS Enterprise, the Romulan Commander's vessel, and the Shore Leave planet, where a jealous Tonia Barrows confronts them. Best of show for this zine.
- "They" (p.42-44) /
Gladys Oliver
- Stream-of-consciousness of Mother Horta as she encounters the Trio in "Devil in the Dark."
- "The Valley of the Shadow" (p.46-53) /
Mariann Hornlein
- Evil Klingons capture and torture Spock and send him to a slave planet. When Kirk finally rescues him, Starfleet has assigned an Andorian as replacement first officer, and Spock is reluctant to destroy the man's career by reclaiming his post. Spock and Kirk suffer parting anguish until the Andorian gallantly seeks a transfer. Kinda silly premise.
