Web of the Romulans

Web of the Romulans - M.S. Murdock [These notes were made in 1983:]. This is a well thought out, interesting story, close to the original series in both conception and philosophy. Kirk and his stalwarts find themselves battling war-mongering on both the Romulan and Federation sides - precisely that paranoid mistrust which is all too familiar from our own super-powers these days. Add to that the serious implications of a computer in love with the Captain, and you have a genuinely workable plot. M.S. Murdock nowhere gives any clue to his/her background or sex, tho' I think the dedication "To STAR TREK with love" is perhaps a little fulsome for a male writer. Again, a pleasant afternoon gulp.
