Vulcan's Glory - Star Trek, No 44 Author:D. C. Fontana The tale of Spock's struggle to reconcile his many obligations - those forced on him by his Vulcan heritage, and those chosen by him upon his enlistment in Starfleet - to balance the wishes of others against the desires of his own heart.
This slim novel set at the beginning of Spock's association with Christopher Pike, glows with Fontana's love for and understanding of the characters. One of the better pronovels in the Trak universe.
