TOS: #9
Authors: Sondra Marshak and Myrna Culbreath
Captain Kirk and Spock become locked into a desperate competition for the love of one woman. The stakes are much higher than just the hearts of the two friends.
The fate of the galaxy lies in the hands of Sola Thane, an unbonded female from the planet Zaran.
Two seperate collective beings, each calling themselves a Oneness, seek control of the galaxy by absorbing all individuals. Joining a Oneness, however, strips one of all individuality. And two collectives do not equal a Totality. The two must either war, merge, or seek another way.
If Sola Thane can be induced to enter the mate-hunt and subsequent bonding, certain unifying powers of her race will be unleashed. The two collectives set things in motion and wait to pounce, ready to take advantage of that power.
But which mate will Sola choose? Will love shared by individuals overcome the power of a collective? What of Kirk's and Spock's strong love for one another? What sacrifices are each willing to make? And just how stable is a ... Triangle?
