spokeFnished re-reading, for the nth time yesterday: Spock's World.
This is one of my favorite Trek books. Which naturally means that absolutely everybody should read it! ;p
But why should everyone read this book? *thinks* Without giving everything away...
1.Concise Highlights Covering the History of Vulcan which provide insights into a species who refer to God as 'the Other'.
2.A portrayal of Jim Kirk whom I, having not liked him very much from the series itself, can like - and yet he is in character. A vastly more mature character, but it's still the same guy who once had to be dragged kicking and screaming from the bridge of the Enterprise!
3.T'Pau, however brief her apperances.
4.And a giant crystalline spider who is not spider-freaky. << Unless, like myself, you have an automatic *twitch* no matter how nice the spider is. ^^;; K's'tlk deserves better than my twitching darnit! -.-; Therefore, for the origins of K's'tlk, please see 'The Wounded Sky' - also by Diane Duane and a really excellent book... in fact, any of her Trek. Read it, it is shiny and nourishing!
... I have argued with myself and must make a partial quote : "I say," he said, "I submit to you, that the many are the one. That everyone of you-the-many is yourself a one, and without all the 'ones', there would be no many."
James Tiberius bloody Kirk, people. ^_^ I love this book.
