{5\/5} “‘They’re good people aboard the Enterprise-A — I should know after all, since I trained them — they can get along without me for a decent while.’ ‘That goes without saying, J.T. Question is, can you get along without them?'” — Kirk & Gillian<\/p>\n
Star Trek: Debt of Honor<\/strong> by Chris Claremont, published in 1992<\/p>\n Captain James T. Kirk is on a boat with Gillian Taylor. Gillian is looking after the whales, George and Gracie. Kirk is remembering his battle to the death with Kruge on the Genesis Planet — and his son David dying, and his previous battle to the death with Khan. Years ago when Kirk was on the Farragut after the captain was killed, he worked with a Vulcan named T’Cel to help restore sensors — aliens that could pierce the hull with their own bodies attacked the ship.<\/p>\n This is a gripping story with a historical sweep and a great new character, T’Cel. Spock and McCoy play chess, and Uhura and Rand have a chat about loyalty and initiative. Saavik and Kor join the fun.<\/p>\n It’s about how you can find a peace within yourself when you’re with the right person. It’s about how you need to be persistent to solve a dangerous problem when you’re the only one who can do it — and, as always, have the right team to help you. It’s about building bridges between people you have previously thought of as enemies.<\/p>\n The artwork by Adam Hughes, Karl Story, and Tom McCraw is very good.<\/p>\n This is the 2nd time I’ve read it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {5\/5} “‘They’re good people aboard the Enterprise-A — I should know after all, since I trained them — they can get along without me for a decent while.’ ‘That goes without saying, J.T.
