One of the better and more memorable Star Trek novels, this is based on one of the old episodes from the TV series, where Spock and McCoy are marooned on an ice-age planet 5000 years in the past, where they meet a fellow prisoner, Zarabeth. Spock reverts back to the semi-savage state of his Vulcan ancestors, and makes love with Zarabeth. Later he and McCoy are rescued, while Zarabeth is forced to stay behind. In this novel, Spock learns that their encounter resulted in a child, and Spock returns to the planet to rescue his son, now an adolescent. One of the most fascinating and moving Star Treks for the character development and exploration, particularly of Spock. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0671473158, Paperback)

With the help of the Vulcan leader T'Pau, Spock gets permission to use the Guardian of Forever, a portal through time constructed by a long-vanished race, to venture into the past. On another trip into history, on the planet Sarpeidon, Spock had loved a woman who could not return with him to the future, and now Spock wishes to see the son she bore him, 5,000 years earlier. But a Romulan attack on the Guardian's planet could interfere, unless the EnterpriseTM can keep the Guardian out of their hands.
