Another James Blish adaptation. It is funny how in every story there is some knockout beauty that Kirk has to deal with. But I love the way Blish writes these adaptations, they are just as good as the episodes.

Much better written than the others in the series. The last story, however, was horribly racist and misogynistic.

More fun, more or less frivolous adventures with Kirk and the crew, adapted by Blish. I was disappointed to find no preface from Blish in this one; Blish talking about almost anything is interesting, including Star Trek fan mail. Heaps of these books were sold (millions) so I wonder if they made him more money than his other work (combined)?
I am once again impressed by the number of tragic amours Kirk manages to involve himself in.
