Book Reviews of Crucible: Spock--The Fire and the Rose (Star Trek)

Book Review: We need to consolidate the timlines people
Summary: 3 Stars

"Lost chapters" are fine as long as they don't raise new questions like How could Amanda die of both a wasting illness as proposed in one book and a shuttle accident as proposed in this one? What is the point of having Spock undergo Kolimar training for a second time if we know that in another 5 years or so someone is going to make up an alternative explanation. It doesn't make any sense.

I'm not saying that parts of the book aren't good they are there is some interesting interaction between Spock and McCoy epically and even the old Star Trek Animated series gets a nod but how can I or any other fan get excited about a book that seems half transcript of an episode I've already watched and half reimagined story line that someone is just going to change later? At least when your reading a Star Wars book you know that while certain developments are strange they will never change.

Summary of Crucible: Spock--The Fire and the Rose (Star Trek)

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.
