Equilibrium by PSW Word Count: 152,047 words Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series Rating: T Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: McCoy & Kirk & Spock Summary: McCoy's transport is destroyed in what appears to be a containment field explosion, leaving no known survivors. The truth, however, is not so simple as that ... Reccer's Note: First off, this story is as good as any of the Trek tie-in novels I have read (I read the whole thing in one day, because I couldn't stop reading it). It is about McCoy, who is kidnapped by non-federation aliens who force him to work for them. Meanwhile, Kirk, Spock and everyone on the ship, are grieving for McCoy, because they think he died in an explosion. The author does an excellent job balancing action and character moments, and their pacing is really good. They do not sugarcoat over how traumatic this situation is for Bones, they give it space to breath, while also moving the plot forward, which is not always an easy task. Although the story is McCoy focused the writer also does a good job with Spock and Kirk, and the characterization of everyone felt on point. Plus, they added some really interesting original characters. Also, I like that they took the time to explore the aftermath of such a situation, and not just skim over it, like they would have at the end of an episode. Anyways, if you are a fan of McCoy at all please give this one a read.
