CRUCIBLE: SPOCK - THE FIRE AND THE ROSE
|
By: David R. George III
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.

The second book in the Crucible trilogy
is just as good as its
predecessor, although substantially shorter in length.
This story tells us plenty about the life of Mr. Spock that we didn't
know before but doesn't involved as much about the original series
episode "The City On The Edge Of Forever" as the McCoy novel
does.
I enjoyed it just as much as "Crucible: McCoy" and I'm looking
forward to starting the Kirk novel very soon!
