| Captain Kirk, No longer the void. I have been touched. I have been annointed. I have seen. The 'gods' move in mysterious ways: the strangest of these is that they should select a poor Human-Vulcan hybrid as the agent through which their will is to be done. Kyros reeks with sin: flame and sword shall cleanse it. You will say that in doing this I am violating General Order One. So be it. I obey a higher law. I realize that you, who have not been touched by the light, will feel compelled to use your resources to thwart my mission. I do not underestimate the mighty forces the Enterprise can bring to bear. I have therefore disabled the warp drive by removing the trilithium crystals, ensuring that you and your ship remain neutral in the coming struggle between good and evil. It may be that once Kyros is purged, the 'gods' will wish to use the Enterprise to bring the light to their systems: for the moment, you will remain in orbit and be prepared to render such assistance to my mission as I and the 'gods' deem necessary. Let there be peace between us, The 'Messiah' (once known as Spock). |

| 01/27/97 | This book, from the synopsis, sounds very uncharacteristic for Star Trek. There are plenty of very good Star Trek books that I haven't read yet. I have chosen to read those first. I don't think this book is a very good one, but that is only my opinion from the synopsis. Curtis Fox |
