Review Summaries

"Ambassador Spock is bonded to Commander Saavik. Later on Spock goes undercover to Romulus because a woman he had earlier betrayed, Charvanek, says that Romulus' praetor, Dralath, is planning an attack on a Klingon base of women and children. Uhura tells Saavik this, so she must go to Romulus as well. While on Romulus, Spock meets old friends and new enemies. This story is somewhat over the top with pon farr romance, but a fulfilling story of love and politics."
