“Fracture” by Jeff Bond
The Enterprise encounters Tholians and attempts to understand their culture while trying to stop a war. Solid!
“Chaotic Response” by Stuart Moore
Great concept, chaotic execution—Kirk and McCoy need to enter Spock’s mind after the Klingon mind-ripper was used on him.
“As Others See Us” by Christopher L. Bennett
Excellent exploration of the Prime Directive and the assumption that knowledge-gaining is entirely benevolent. Great story!
“See No Evil” by Jill Sherwin
Another excellent story with a strong, relevant message about not hiding heads in the sand to avoid discomfort.
“The Leader” by Dave Galanter
Kirk and a shuttle team crash on a world where they meet another crashed ship, and unfortunately they’re pursued by Klingons. Kirk and Anders, the leader of the first ship, clash on preparing for the Klingon attack, but they come to a compromise and get out alive. Good story!
“Ambition” by William Leisner
Sulu and Scott are left in charge of the Enterprise while Kirk and Spock are on a diplomatic mission. Solid, if less than amazing.
“Devices and Desires” by Kevin Lauderdale
When the Enterprise is brought to a sort of Warehouse 13-like location, Spock is offered a position in R&D. Decent enough.
“Where Everybody Knows Your Name” by Jeffrey Lang
My favorite story of the bunch—McCoy and Scotty just sitting at a bar having drinks and talking about adventures. It’s fantastic.
“Make-Believe” by Allyn Gibson
A truly touching story that is wonderfully meta.
