Summary:

When Kirk is blinded by a Tholian weapon, Spock leaves the service to stay at his side.

Nightvisions, originally published as a print fanzine in 1979, was one of the first full-length K/S novel ever published. Cover art by Signe Landon.

“This 250 page novel has attained near-legendary status since its publication in 1979 and it is well deserved. It opens with Kirk in virtual retirement and seclusion, under McCoy’s care on Starbase 9, having been blinded in an encounter with the Tholians. He is not dealing well with the affliction, and attempts to send Spock away without letting him know about it. This gambit, of course, fails. Spock settles in to care for Kirk in a luxurious seaside home, complete with a loyal Andorian housekeeper. Conflicts arise between Spock’s overprotectiveness and Kirk’s fierce need to retain at least an illusion of his old independence, complicated by a gradually growing physical awareness of each other. They become lovers, against a background of McCoy’s search for a cure for Jim’s condition, and his growing apprehension concerning the symptoms of ongoing damage and possible death.” (x)
