“Vulcans do not believe in luck,” Spock said wryly, “although our own exploits are often compelling evidence to the contrary.”

This was a tight, short little story (it took me about the length of a typical episode to read, in fact) and I quite enjoyed it. Predictable in outline, the characterisations were nonetheless well-handled. I feel Mr Cox pain though, I can imagine not having a physical copy to adorn the shelf would leave one a little disgruntled. perhaps a fan will send him a createspace edition one day as a thank you!
