Publisher Description
IN A SINGLE MOMENT
...the lives of three men will be forever changed. In that split second, defined paradoxically by both salvation and loss, they will destroy the world and then restore it. Much had come before, and much would come after, but nothing would color their lives more than that one, isolated instant on the edge of forever.
IN A SINGLE MOMENT
...Spock, displaced in time, watches his closest friend heed his advice by allowing the love of his life to die in a traffic accident, thereby preserving Earth's history. Returning to the present, however, Spock confronts other such crises, and chooses instead to willfully alter the past. Challenged by the thorny demands of his logic, he will have to find a way to face his conflicting decisions.
IN A SINGLE MOMENT
...that stays with Spock, he preserved the timeline at the cost of Jim Kirk's happiness. Now, the death of that friend will cause Spock to reexamine the fundamental choices he has made for his own life. Unwilling to accept his feelings of loss and regret, he will seek that which has previously eluded him: complete mastery of his emotions. But while his quest for the perfect geometry of total logic will move him beyond his remorse, another loss will bring him full circle to once more face the fire he has never embraced.
Customer Reviews
Even Greater Respect for Spock
This novel told me some things about Spock I didn’t know and I was both intrigued and pleasantly surprised. I didn’t know he’d completed the Kohlinar, didn’t know his mother had died, and didn’t know he’d actually left Starfleet for the Vulcan Science Academy. I was glad to know that he’d found happiness with Alexandra and had even adopted a daughter. I was always afraid that Spock would die without a family of his own, and that would have been a shame. I know it’s fiction, but he’s one of the greatest men in history, in my opinion. All-in-all, a great portrayal of his life, in my opinion.
Whatever.
There's really nothing to this book and, although it's been several years since it's been written, I think some of the writers of books treat the chapel character like garbage. I know she didn't get to be in the series as much and I think it's because of Jean Being major's husband. But, they also forget that Spock and chapel shared consciousness together and they tend to ignore that. I just didn't care for that much. Sometimes she doesn't get mentioned a lot of times she doesn't other time she may get mentioned as the nurse or other nurses get mentioned rather than her. She was the one that had the feelings for him not necessarily him for her but I do think at least it could've been mentioned if you're gonna do mine males bring up the fact that they had shared consciousness if you're gonna bring up everything else. Just not impressed with this. Hey correction, I should not say Jean being majors husband it should be Jean being involved with majel. My mistake.
