Product Description
Product Description
First contact becomes an interstellar incident when the Starship Enterprise responds to a distress call from an unknown ship and saves the life of a man left to die by his own people. Berlis, a member of a telepathic species calling themselves the Isitri, claims not to know why those from his homeworld would want him dead. Captain James T. Kirk wants to believe him, but the damage is done: the Enterprise can neither leave the stranger to die nor turn him over to those who would kill him. Berlis seems harmless, but his people say he cannot live among them: his telepathy is so strong that their wills are subsumed to his. The same fear that compels the Isitri to seek the death of one of their own drives the neighbouring Odib people towards genocide. For every time an 'alpha mind' dominates the Isitri, the Odib pay the price in their own blood. With Spock becoming erratic under Berlis's influence, and the Isitri begging Kirk to allow them to destroy the man who threatens their existence, matters take a disastrous turn when Berlis makes his way back to Isitra -- and an entire world falls to his whims.

An interesting storyline which could have been explored more extensively. More information about the cultures involved instead of the repetitive wrangling between Kirk and McCoy.

I thought this was a pretty good story. It centres around the Enterprise rescuing a ship from destruction. The leader of this vessel is Berlis, a telepathic alien whose abilities seem to have an unusual hold over Spock. It turns out that Berlis was left to die by his own people, and with Spock becoming more and more erratic under his influence, Kirk is left wondering if he did the right thing in saving Berlis.
All in all, an entertaining and interesting read. Worth a read for any fans of the original series and especially if you enjoy stories centred around Spock. A little complicated here and there but it all comes to make sense if you stick with the story.

Delivered on time and in good condition. Although I enjoyed most of the read, there were parts which I found rather complicated.
