Product Description:
IN A SINGLE MOMENT
...the lives of three men will be forever changed. In that split second, defined paradoxically by both salvation and loss, they will destroy the world and then restore it. Much had come before, and much would come after, but nothing would color their lives more than that one, isolated instant on the edge of forever.
IN A SINGLE MOMENT
...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, however, 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.
IN A SINGLE MOMENT
...that stays with Spock, he preserved the timeline at the cost of Jim Kirk's happiness. Now, the death of that friend will cause Spock to reexamine the fundamental choices he has made for his own life. Unwilling to accept his feelings of loss and regret, he will seek that which has previously eluded him: complete mastery of his emotions. But while his quest for the perfect geometry of total logic will move him beyond his remorse, another loss will bring him full circle to once more face the fire he has never embraced.

"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.

This is a good book, but I was disappointed about the (other than flashbacks) elimination of the character of Saavik. She really needed to have been featured in this novel. And while i realize that TREK books are not considered 'canon', the writer took A LOT of creative liberty in the last three pages of this novel with Spock.
A good read overall.
