{5/5} “Dude, you might want to fasten your seat belt.” Some of the castaways have made it off the island, but now there’s a movement afoot to go back. Ben has also made it off the island, and he always has a plan. Meanwhile, back on the island something strange is happening — as usual. […]
{4.5/5} “He’s not a mad scientist, George thought dully, he’s a pretty sane one, or he was. It’s the chance of power that my dreams give him that twists him around. He keeps acting a part, and this gives him such an awfully big part to play. So that now he’s even using his science […]
{4.5/5} “As Kirk padded down from the outer ring of the bridge to its inner section, he shifted from reflecting on the reliability and longevity of his command crew to the interpersonal relationships that had grown among them.
