    Summary

    Father Christopher Pike, a Jesuit from Earth's Vatican Observatory, wakes up from a coma with no memories of his life, his past, or the five years he's supposedly spent as part of an interfaith monastic community on the moon of Delta IV, where he is the sole human among eight scholars representing different belief systems from throughout the galaxy - from a Romulan nun of the Qowat Milat, to a Trill Guardian, to a Klingon monk from Boreth. But as he attempts to acclimate to a life he doesn't remember, the only thing he recognizes is the face that greeted him upon waking: Spock, the cohort's resident Vulcan, who lives next door and is supposedly Pike's closest friend. After a mind meld helps Pike recover his memories of their life together at the monastery, the intimacy between them begins to deepen, and suddenly their vows of celibacy feel oppressive in a way they didn't before.

    But even as the spark between them grows more difficult to ignore, Pike and Spock still can't shake the unsettling feeling that this isn't their real life . . . or the worry that somebody, somewhere, seems willing to go to dangerous lengths to stop them from getting back to it.

    Summary

    Why do people go to class reunions? In our current world of Facebook, Linked In, Twitter and every other permutation from e-mail to iPad, it's possible to stay in touch with people we knew in high school-- and completely avoid those we never wanted to see again. But maybe some memories can only be faced down in person. Frederick I. Iverson explores this in his article on the reunion of the Sunnydale Class of '99. The date is July 26, 2014: This is Talk of the Nation, for NPR.
