You know, I don't normally think much about the cover but this one is as lovely as the book. This is a wonderful read! Enjoy!!
Good story, well-told.

Spock as the foster-parent for a seven-year-old Vulcan girl? An interesting premise. A step toward the Unification of Vulcans and Romulans? Always an interesting plot device. A planet full of Vulcanoids (Rigel) who are fully as emotional as Vulcans are restrained, who make Romulans look downright logical, and Spock and the girl stranded there to interact with them? Worthwhile concept, handled wonderfully. ALMOST a five-star effort; if the ending hadn't been quite so abrupt, passing over so much of the Vulcan-Romulan unification subplot, it probably would have gotten that last star. Still a fine story, though.
If only Spock would fall in love.

Spock was portrayed in a way that we hardly ever see him in. He was protecting his niece so that in the future she could marry a Romulan. I'm sure she wasn't that happy about it. Well Spock is good in the book and I liked the way that he softened a little, in regards to Teska. If you like Spock read the book, it might surprise you.
Excellent Book. Will the Vulcans & the Romulans Unite ??

Verry good book. Story gives some great insights into Spock and what it means to be a Vulcan child. While Kirk and the rest of the crew are of on an mision Spock must make sure he and his niece survive their stay on Rigel V.

On Spoch rests the fate if Romulans and Vulcans will even get to their goal of reunification. Can Spock rescue Teska ??
A nice change of pace for Spock

It's nice to see Spock as something else once in a while, & in the story we do. We all know that there is a part of Spock that has very deep feelings & he shows them for his niece in a quiet, reserved way...deeper & deeper each day, though. The ending is extemely touching
If you don't MIND the lack of logic, this isn't a bad MELD

If you're looking for THE definitive, unforgettable, LOGICAL book on Vulcan culture, today is not a good day to read this. As far as action goes, it's good, with a lot of assassins and interplanetary intrigue. However, Vornholt seems to be trying to cater to all tastes, and the book's weakest moments are when it tries to put Teska and Spock in a broader galactic framework. The scenes with the Romulans (especially the foaming-at-the-mouth pon farr one) don't mesh with the rest of the plot, and are VERY weak on logic. Read it if you like learning about a different culture, though; the Rigellian customs are both detailed and original
