A boldly different Star Trek experience. A defective mind link turns the logical Mr. Spock into a fiery revolutionary who sets out to convert the planet Kryos with fire, sword and a forbidden philosophy. Captain Kirk and the Enterprise crew must summon all their skill and cunning in a race against time on a hostile planet. Can they destroy the fiendish mind that holds Spock captive before it destroys them?

Review of 'Spock, Messiah!' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Unabashedly sexist and equally awful, I finished this in case there was a plot I could use in a Star Trek RPG. Worse than most fan fiction. Not recommended.

I had purchased a few of the Bantam line (which came out before the numbered Pocketbook series), but not this one, which for some reason was hard to find. Did not read it when I did find it - just couldn't spare two hours. Now that I have - I'll only keep it for completeness.
