Description

The teachings of Surak emphasize the sacredness of life. Must they be abandoned when the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? T'Pol is forced to confront this dilemma when she has to choose between taking a life to save her crewmates, or stay true to her Vulcan nature.

A passable Star Trek book although it really didn't feel any bigger than a standard episode. The first half dragged rather and threatened to get buried in Vulcan philosophy, but the second half was a bit more lively. Several of the characters got a bit of a raw deal in terms of consistancy, T'Pol not least. Glad I only paid a quid for it and it only took a couple of hours to read, I wouldn't recommend it.
