Spock, Messiah! by Theodore R. Cogswell, Jr. and Charles A. Spano

[rachelmanija]

I did not receive any of the Harlequin titles, which I note all actually exist. Nor did I receive The Very Virile Viking or The Vampire Queen’s Servant, which also exist. I already own Clan of Death: Ninja, and have it reviewed somewhere under the tag genre: ninja

Here is the cover Rachel mentions, in case anyone wants to see it.

While I am at it, I have to share this cover for The Entropy Effect, which I found while looking for the first cover. What the hell?

What the hey? What was wrong with the original cover for The Entropy Effect, which had awesome long-haired Sulu?

While I like the original cover, the composition looks very 80s to me, so I can see why they would want a new one. I have no idea why they would want this one, however.

"As it happened, Dr. McCoy had never done a colonoscopy on a Vulcan before."

The new cover is terrible. The book is better.

Re: "Spock, Messiah!" Who decided to publish that? WHO!?

Someone who thought that a bunch of fans would buy pretty much any piece of crap fiction if it was about Star Trek, with bonuses for having Spock in the title and in bed with someone.

Nor were they wrong - this thing has had more editions than I care to contemplate, and I bet some of them had multiple printings.
