Demons by J.M. Dillard
5.0
I always get excited when a story starts with an archaeological dig, but almost invariably this doesn't form much more than the seed of the story. Surprise! An archaeological expedition finds some relics that unleash an ancient terror. Well, aside from the cliches this is actually a top notch story.
Murder and mayhem. Demonic possession. Lust confused with love. Spock and McCoy on each other's nerves. It's a recipe that sounds fairly average but the meal is delightful.
Unexpectedly, this story included some early experiences of Sarek and Amanda's "romance" which was a pleasant surprise and was handled well. It was a bit of a jarring jump back in time from the main events of the book but nonetheless pleasant.
