Warpfactortrek.com has added a new review for James Blish‘s “Star Trek 1”:
Let’s take a brief look at “Balance of Terror”, the Blish version of which was published in the first of his twelve volumes. Overall, it’s certainly not the case that the adaptation is unrecognizable compared to the screen version of the episode. There are variations between the two, of course. Lieutenant Stiles, the navigator who gets called out by Kirk for his bigotry based on his family history and similarities in appearance between Romulans and Vulcans, ends up dying as a result of the coolant leak in the phaser control room. (Lieutenant Tomlinson and one of his colleagues are the other casualties in Blish’s version, though Tomlinson and Angela Martine, in the adaptation, were married in the midst of the action.)
