Art by , just like the vast majority of the glorious art you'll see in this collection!
This collection contains all the stories based around 's white hole fractal art and supplemental pieces -- AMAZING FRACTAL ART that now you can find in one place along with my writing, centered in the M.A. Kirk Universe as a saga all its own (and I contributed a little supplemental art arranging as well that you'll find as you read)! Follow Admiral V.T. Kirk as she receives a mysterious free gift from a shopkeeper from whom Captain M.A. Kirk is buying anniversary gifts. As sedition and treason breaks out on a planetary scale, can Admiral V.T. Kirk solve the mystery and keep the white hole from destroying every star system in its path?
Thanks always to for trusting me with her gorgeous work!

Captain M.A. Kirk is getting ahead of the game on buying 19th wedding anniversary gifts for his wife, but receives a free gift for that leads to a scientific discovery and mystery that leaves a star system's fate hanging in the balance.

Never underestimate how far Admiral V.T. Kirk will go to find the information she needs to get her job done ... the highest-ranking science officer in the fleet prepares for a consultation, and in the preparation solves one of the oldest (and most dangerous) questions about an ancient civilization that laughs at the speed of warp drive ... and then, just goes on off to work on the "tiny" little question of what to do with a white hole ... or even a model white hole ... or even the model OF a model of a white hole ...

Admiral V.T. Kirk at last meets with Dr. Shaaka iMaru, who explains everything about black holes, white holes, the flow of energy throughout the piping system of the UNIVERSE and why eschatology and the position of Earth and Christ are all wrapped up in that ... just to help the admiral formulate the right question!
New information shows that the model white hole has been nudged off course and is actually in route to planet Earth ... so Admiral V.T. Kirk gets invited to know about an old Uppaaimarn military tool and the admiral who last used it ... and makes a successful bid to star in the reenactment of a 3,000-year old practice!

Have I said yet to NEVER underestimate how far Admiral V.T. Kirk will go to get the information she needs to get her job done? The gutsy admiral goes into a 3,000-year-old iron helm not designed for human minds and passes into an ancient virtual reality space to meet her counterpart from 3,000 years earlier in the metaverse, amidst visions of staggering galactic beauty!

Things go from bad to worse on and around Pramerania as the planet's civil war heats up and spills over into space as the truth about the model white hole comes out at last! Yet at this point, Admiral V.T. Kirk and her staff decide they have seen enough. "Play time is OVER"!
The title is self-explanatory ... play with Admiral V.T. Kirk and her top adjutant if you want to (a bad idea with that top adjutant's family since 1861 and a different civil war) ... but don't bring a butter knife to a gunfight if that's how you want to play...

Admiral V.T. Kirk gets home in time for her 19th wedding anniversary ... but, her husband kisses SOMETHING ELSE and ends up heels up in the bushes ... ah, yes Kirk married life, year 19 and going strong!
