Product Description:
Spock, displaced in time, watches his closest friend heed his advice by allowing the love of his life to die in a traffic accident, thereby preserving Earth's history. Returning to the present, Spock confronts other such crises, and chooses instead to willfully alter the past. Challenged by the thorny demands of his logic, he will have to find a way to face his conflicting decisions. Once, he preserved the timeline at the cost of Jim Kirk's happiness. Now he is forced to re-examine the fundamental choices he has made for his own life. Unwilling to accept his feelings of loss and regret, he seeks that which has previously eluded him: complete mastery of his emotions. But while that quest will move him beyond his turmoil, another loss will bring him full circle to once more face the fire he had never embraced.

I liked this novel pretty well. If you are a Star Trek fan, what I would say about this novel is that the author thoroughly nails the personality of Mr. Spock. The characterizations in this book (with the possible exception of Sarek) are all spot-on, and this novel, like the Crucible novel about Dr. McCoy, is really a personality study of the Spock character. As such, Star Trek fans will enjoy this novel.
I am not sure that I was persuaded by the author's characterization of Sarek, ... Read More

"Lost chapters" are fine as long as they don't raise new questions like How could Amanda die of both a wasting illness as proposed in one book and a shuttle accident as proposed in this one? What is the point of having Spock undergo Kolimar training for a second time if we know that in another 5 years or so someone is going to make up an alternative explanation. It doesn't make any sense.
I'm not saying that parts of the book aren't good they are there is some interesting interaction ... Read More

As an avid Trekkie who has been intrigued by Mr. Spock, I've often wondered what happened to him after his last appearance on the Star Trek: Next Generation episode: "Reunification". This book also works from the common thread based on the Original Series episode: "The City on the Edge of Forever". It appears that the events that took place at the Guardian of Forever impacted Mr. Spock more than observers had realized. This tale also contains references to various TV episodes, both Original and Next ... Read More

The "Crucible: McCoy" book was so exceptional that I had high expectations coming into this book. It failed to live up to those high expectations. It was a good story, well told, but didn't seem to me to demonstrate nearly the insight into the character of Spock that the previous book demonstrated into the character of McCoy. I found a great many of the "revelations" about Spock's life to be rather dubious; I simply don't accept the fact that Spock was unaware that his father never completed the Kolinahr; ... Read More

A very good depiction of the inner struggles that Spock must deal with in his life as he trys to balance his human and Vulcan sides. It shows how one who can want something and then attain it, only to find that it's not really want he wants. A must read for all Spock fans out there.
