CAPTAIN'S LOG, 6454.4 Due to a series of freak ion storms, the Neutral Zone separating the Federation from the Romulan Empire will soon shift--and the planet Arachnae will fall entirely within Romulan... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Not as bad as some of the other reviews make it out to be as it easily could have been a third season episode! This is a easy book to get into and explores an area of Star Trek that really has not been explored before. Yes, Dr. McCoy is a man who is interested in a exotic woman (how many times did McCoy get the girl?), and yes this woman has some major problems that only Spock can solve. The planet/Romulan/alien angle is a interesting backdrop for all of the human emotions that are explored. Pick it up and have some fun!
It was great!

It was great how Kathleen Sky clashed charectors together in this eciting star trek book. I really enjoyed the way that she described the mindmeld.
Great book

This is a rare book to find. The story has all the angles of a classic Star Trek book. It shows a rarely seen side of Mr. Spock. He is pitted against a woman doctor with a love/hate relationship with Vulcans, who is called upon to determine if a group of aliens on a world have intelligence or not. That coupled with the fact that since the Neutral Zone is shifting, the Romulans want to claim the planet as their own. The end is truly exciting and I would highly recommend it to any true Trek fan. The only problem is that it is a very hard book to find. I lost my copy several years ago and have yet to find a replacement. I hope it is printed again soon.
