All right, a question for those out there who have read Ford's
_The_Final_Relection_:
Who is that (unmasked) Vulcan on the cover? The cover shows the Krenn and
the young Spock playing chess, with a defiant-looking person in the
background with Vulcan features. Or Romulan features, I guess... but there
were no Romulan characters in the book, other than one in the booth.
Who is this supposed to be? It can't be young Krenn (Vrenn), as the adult
Krenn does not have pointed ears. Kelly (Gelly)? No, the person sure
looks male ("Looks fairly butch..." :-) ). From the apparent age, he has
to be someone from the school, and Zharn is the only remaining possibility.
But I don't think Zharn's part is large enough to warrant his inclusion on
the front... and back... covers. Besides, Zharn is never described, and
from the stated attitude at the school towards Vulcan fusions, I doubt that
Zharn would rise to lead if he looked Vulcan.
So who is he? Hmmmm????
