Author's Summary: The obligatory Pon Farr story . . . with a bit of a twist.

Review:
On a diplomatic mission, Nocteans, who are eager to please the Federation, offer Captain Kirk a gift they have deemed most valuable to Kirk – the chance to save Spock’s life. Of course, the most exciting things always happen on diplomatic missions.

I’m just going to come outright and say it: this is a body-swapping story. There. I’ve vehemently disliked stories of this genre and have never read any before this one because it has always seemed a little creepy to be romantically/sexually attracted to someone who is the current inhabitant of your body. Talk about narcissism to the extreme. To be honest, the only reason I even gave Through Blind Men's Eyes a try was because the summary didn’t mention any body-swapping. But oh boy, do I not regret this one bit!

I loved reading about Kirk’s experiences in Spock’s body – the temperature sensitivity, the metabolic changes, the heightened hearing, and oh hey, guess whom this body is attracted to. As Spock would put it: fascinating! The having-sex-with-oneself sex is minimal and short (they switch back almost immediately after) and didn’t weird me out too much. Highly recommended!
