Wonderful!!!

A great read!!!

All is not what it seems

The Enterprise has gone to Aritani, a peaceful, agrarian non-aligned planet that has been repeated attacked by pirates. While on this mercy mission Spock suffered a horrible accident, one that left him with severe brain trauma. Despite their best efforts, McCoy and the Federation dispatched specialist were not able to repair all the damage, leading them to conclude that Spock was suffering from long term, if not permanent, brain damage. Spock was then sent home to Vulcan to continue his recovery. Back on the Enterprise both McCoy and Kirk has fallen for the specialist, a beautiful young woman, leading to friction between the two. When additional incidents of sabotage begin to take place Kirk begins to suspect the presence of a traitor onboard, causing him to look closely at all the new crew members who had recently arrived. This is a special treat for Spock fans, giving lots of attention not only Spock himself but also to his family and Vulcan society. The author has done a wonderful job providing this background material in a well thought out manner without slowing down the flow of the story. In addition the conflict between Kirk and McCoy is treated in a very believable manner.
