WORLDS APART -
A K/S novel by M. E. Carter

The colonists on Albion IV, both Human and Vulcan, had turned their backs on technology, and the two groups remained strictly apart.  There should never have been an opportunity for Jim Kirk and Spock to ever meet... 

*****
Out of the corner of his eye he could see the Vulcan standing with bowed head, still as death. "You and I have almost nothing in common, yet for some reason I feel free to just be myself around you. You could ask me for so much; instead you haven't asked for anything. Well, there's something I want from you. I'd like to be your friend, if you'll let me."

Spock looked up then with those terrible empty eyes, and Jim walked over and stuck out his hand. Belatedly it occurred to him that Vulcans probably did not share that custom. He smiled a little, but did not withdraw.
***

One meeting led to another, and to many more, and two young men find their way to each other despite the prohibitions of their cultures.  But forging a future together means they must face the bigotry of Humans and Vulcans alike - as well as overcome the violent secrets in Spock's past.
