No one on the Enterprise can believe that Mr. Spock is gone...

As the crew grieves for Mr. Spock, the awesome Genesis Device, now controlled by the Federation, has transformed an inert nebula into a new planet teeming with life. But Genesis can also destroy existing worlds. The creators of the Device want it given freely to the Galaxy. But Starfleet Command fears that it will become a force for evil. And the enemies of the Federation will not rest until they seize it -- as their most powerful weapon in the battle to conquer the Galaxy!

It's a thankless job writing a novelization: I don't envy authors who have to conjure a novel out of a movie they've not only never seen but in most cases hasn't even been completed yet. Vonda McIntyre does a commendable job bringing 'The Search For Spock' to the printed page with its spirit intact (or should I say... its Vulcan katra? I kid, I kid). Fans will be interested in seeing the book carry on certain threads from the previous installment that go unmentioned by the film like Carol Marcus, Peter Preston, etc. Though by doing so McIntyre at times risks making the book an overly dour affair: turns out a LOT of people died in Star Trek II for our characters to mourn, and there's a lot more death and destruction yet to come.

That just makes it all the more important for McIntyre to nail the catharsis at the end, and I think that's where the book most falters; its conclusion is happy but tentative, like a fleeting moment of good in a hurricane of misery. Thing is, if all I had to go on were the script and some notes and concept sketches to try to tell someone else's story, I may well have written it that way, too. It's when you see it on screen and hear it with the James Horner score that the end becomes a wholesale triumph of the living spirit (Katra? I'm sorry, I really am!).
