Well, that wasn't really worth downloading, but I needed a fix. Complete misinterpretation of Spock in the recap of Where No Man Has Gone Before - he does actually have emotions, he's not a robot - but a better characterisation of pre-captain Jim Kirk than in other books I've read. (For all the womanizer/space 'ho tags attached to Kirk, he's really more the type of guy who gets embarrassed when talking about sex.) Also, kudos for foreshadowing Gary Mitchell's high ESP-er rating in the episode as 'flashes of insight'. I did actually warm to Gary in this one, but the plot was completely formulaic (Kirk the maverick saves the day), so I won't be throwing more money away on parts two and three. ( )

Jim Kirk emerged from the entrance to the immense lithium-cracking station, the sight of Jim Kelso's coprse still mercilessly fresh in his mind, and took a look at the mumbled, gray landscape ahead of him.

It was the least he could do...considering he was the man who had killed Tomas Mitchell's son.
