Hello Folks,

Another good turnout at our latest meeting. Most of us enjoyed our book, The
Kraken Project by Douglas Preston. For our next book, we remember Leonard
Nimoy as we read Spock's World by Diane Duane.

The next meeting of the Science Fiction club will be on Thursday, April 9,
2015.

Place: Book Nook at:

Here is the NLS annotation:

The ruling council of the planet Vulcan calls an emergency meeting to try to
preserve the planet. Spock, torn between his duty to Starfleet and his
obligation to Vulcan, must find a way to reconcile his inner conflict and
resolve the crisis that his planet faces.

And this is Bookshare's Long Synopsis for Spock's World:

It is the twenty-third century. On the planet Vulcan, a crisis of
unprecedented proportion has caused the convocation of the planet's ruling
council -- and summoned the U.S.S. Enterprise  from halfway across the
galaxy, to bring Vulcan's most famous son home in its hour of need.  As
Commander Spock, his father Sarek, and Captain James T. Kirk struggle to
preserve Vulcan's future, the planet's innermost secrets are laid before us,
from its beginnings millions of years ago to its savage prehistory, from
merciless tribal warfare to medieval court intrigue, from the exploration of
space to the development of o'thia -- the ruling ethic of logic. And Spock
-- torn between his duty to Starfleet and the unbreakable ties that bind him
to Vulcan -- must find a way to reconcile both his own inner conflict and
the external dilemma his planet faces... lest the Federation itself be
ripped asunder.

Come join us next month as we discuss this book, and share memories of Star
Trek and Leonard Nimoy as Spock.

Evan
