this story was absolutely fabulous! you conveyed their desperation and slow starvation so well. Then having to rejoin society again, and still battling with that lingering need to survive, it was so extremely well done. Thank you for sharing this great piece of work!

...this chapter was so unbelievably sad! :( Good grief, I really felt so very deeply awful for them! I can only hope things get better from here. At least they still have each other...

hi,

this story was incredible and so ...real! i never get tired of reading your stories and you narrate them with such skill and emotion that i get lost in your stories...

i love your stories and i hope to read many more of them...pls never stop writing! your sarek/amanda stories are one of the best!

hope to read more new stories from you genius...

keep up!

I thoroughly enjoyed your story. I spent much of my free time reading it. I liked how Sarek didn't bicker with Amanda when they were trying to survive, I thought that was very Vulcan of him. I thought that it was amusing and understandable how Amanda and Sarek bought all that survival equipment and spent some time testing it out. I think Amanda is right in thinking that the servants think both Amanda and Sarek are a little funny.

I've really enjoyed your story. I hope Spock misses out on this Decker.

I just wanted to thank you for writing this story and all your stories. Sarek and Amanda are such wonderful characters and you write them beautifully. Terrific story, you should never stop writing.

It has been a long long long time since I spent 4 hours just sitting back and reading a good fanfic. Thank you for taking the time to write this story, It was truly a great piece. Major Kudos to you, I will be checking out all your other stuff now. Loved the pacing and attention to detail.

This was such a victorious story. It brought up so many different emotions and made me think about a lot. It was very well written and a wonderful story.

Loved It! Previously, I had only been mildly interested in Amanda because she was Spock's mother, but that has changed with your Holo series. I love her sass, wit, and complexity.

Thank you for this, nd all of your other stories.

I am sorry that I have not reviewed earlier chapters but I have been so engrossed in this that I've just kept reading.

This was marvelous. You got Sarek and Amanda's characters spot on. The details of their ordeal were so precise I felt the cold and the empty stomach myself as I read.

I liked the introduction of Decker and want to go watch "Doomsday Machine" again and see it with that slant in the background.

Words fail me at expressing how much I enjoyed this.

Wonderful story! I love the humor when she gets rescued and with the Vulcan staff.

One point: chronologically she's already come through her stint as chattel and so HAS heard her husband say "I love you."

Once again, wonderful. I loved it! [[clapping hands and calling encore!]]

Pat,

This story has been wonderful. You have kept me on my seat for 20 chapters and that is a real feat. I knew they had to get out, but you did not take the easy way out and get them rescued too soon. Both Sarek and Amanda really went through hell. You did a good job with showing them surviving as themselves in extremely hard circumstances. The scene where Amanda wanted to tell stories and Sarek wanted Amanda to sing was perfect.

Thank you very much for posting this great story.

Yes, wonderful old-school Swiss tech. A marvel to be sure.

This was always a joy to read, and to look forward to as well. I await your next story, knowing it will be a good one.

I thank you heartily for sharing your talents with us.

Pat,

I liked how you wrapped this up and brought it back around 380 degrees. The first chapter gave me hope throughout the whole story. There were several times I had to remind myself at their bleakest moments that they did in effect survive their ordeal. The ending showed how much stronger they are and how life goes on. They aren't dwelling on their experience but it's there-it changed them. Very nice work.
Thank you,

Em

PS- Thank you for the information in your bio. As a newish reader it helps place the stories. I must be a wierd reader as I like them all.

This is a brilliant piece of work, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The imagery is detailed; the emotions raw. I applaud you on a job well done. And I hope you're recovering well. Thank-you.
