The Vulcan Academy Murders by Jean Lorrah

Yes, it is run by stereotype Italians.Īll adult male Vulcans are married they have to be. The Enterprise crew, Spock’s family, and the doctors all go to dinner together at Angelo’s. I still don’t know what letter begins the names of Vulcans who are LBGTQ. Vulcan female names begin with T’ : T’Mir, T’Par, T’Zan, T’Vel, T’Sel, T’Pau, T’Pree, T’Peyra, T’Pring, T’Sey, T’Ra, T’Vet, T’Par, T’Nie…

Vulcan male names begin with S : Spock, Sarek, Sorel, Soton, Sendet, Soran, Senek, Storn, Spelak, Surak, Spet, Skep, Stonn, Sev, Suvel… His partner is Daniel Corrigan and they made Spock. The doctor Sarek commiserates with is Sorel. Visiting Amanda’s sterile chamber requires Sarek to be barefoot? Forget about it-the author does. Sarek has a heart-to-heart with a doctor whose wife is also being treated. A great majority of his students are human, as is his teaching assistant Eleyna, who is single. Silly me, I thought either of those would be a full-time job. Sarek teaches at the Academy when he’s not Ambassadorring. Using his mat, he eliminates suspects from the list one at a time. Kirk has brought his jump to conclusions mat along with him to find the murderer and he suspects T’Pau, Sarek, Sorel, Corrigan, Sendet, and Eleyna. Will they find the murderer before Amanda falls victim?

Once they arrive at the Academy, they find the patients taking part in the new cure are being murdered one by one. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and crewman Remington head for Vulcan on a shuttle leaving Enterprise and crew behind. A team of doctors at the Academy is trying out a new cure on her and it may also help crewman Remington. It is like an allergy to living on an alien world and thought to be incurable. You see, Spock’s mother Amanda has degenerative xenosis. McCoy can’t cure him, but Spock believes the doctors at the Vulcan Science Academy can. Crewman Remington is mortally injured, completely paralyzed from the skull down, but alive. We open with a space battle between Enterprise and some Klingons.
