“The Fate of the Phoenix”: Early Original Star Trek Novel Vangie13 cbr #13
by Sondra Marshak & Myrna Culbreath Captain’s Personal Log. Dear Log: I love Spock sooooo much. He is my best BFF forever. I would die for him. He would die for me. Couldn’t you just die?

Cuba is near enough and porous enough […]
