Just finished Spock’s World, my first attempt at Star Trek novels and the 34th book in my challenge. I’m glad I picked this book to explore this fandom with the written word. Since seeing the new movie, the entire concept of the Vulcan race intrigued me. Then, at the local public library, I found this book.
Every other chapter is a segment in Vulcan’s history, staring from the creation of the Milky Way galaxy and the white star that makes up Vulcan’s sun and bringing us “up to date” with the birth of Spock. Fascinating! With each jump in history, I learned a little bit about the Vulcan culture. Strange, coming from me, since I have little interest in very few human cultures (enough to get me by in my own, and a few that were just idle curiosities for me).
The main plot didn’t hold my interest too much. Will Vulcan secede from the Federation, or won’t it? Living with Trekkies, I already knew the answer. I think anyone who read this book already knew the answer before the question was asked. It was a nice tie-in with a season two episode of the original series, though. So, thus begins my newest obsession.
I’m only a few years behind the times, right?
