The second book of David R. George III’s STAR TREK: CRUCIBLE trilogy is now available in stores everywhere. This one is CRUCIBLE: SPOCK — THE FIRE AND THE ROSE, and it’s a mass market paperback from Pocket Books. As with CRUCIBLE: McCOY, I did the cover illustration honors, and when this cover is connected with the McCOY cover and the forthcoming CRUCIBLE: KIRK cover, they form a nifty triptych. Again, kudos to Pocket designer John Vairo for the elegant, minimal typographic design for this series. Of the three covers, this one is my personal favorite!
