This one  was from a while ago, for me. I tried a few cryptic clues, but others are not! I hope to do better than that soon. As is somewhat usual, it is based on a Star Trek book.

Not a long one, so I hope you enjoy it!

This crostic gave me a lot of trouble. I have been using a BASIC program I got about 1977, in a TRS-80 magazine, with no trouble, but this one was just too big. I got through making it up, but when I tried to print it, the machine just hung there! So I had to do it all by hand. Which took a while.

I don't think it will be any harder than usual, but it's a bit longer. And it's not quite a week since the last one! There are a few Shakespeare clues, including one (B) which is from a sonnet, and three quotes from Hamlet.
I really enjoyed the version by David Tennant and Patrick Stewart. I hadn't realised that Claudius was almost as much a presence as Hamlet. I may go to see the Benedict Cumberbatch version as well.

I hope you have had a chance to solve this, but here is the solution!

A) Attract
B) Last man on earth.
C) Abandon
D) Nut
E) Stuff
F) Monster Club
G) A case of conscience.
H) Leave her to heaven
I) Edward Scissorhands.
J) Ephor
K) NW
L) Gust
M) Lodestone
N) ITNT (although I cheat, I make sure these are acronyms of SOMETHING!)
O) Stunt
P) House on Haunted Hill.
Q) Wrap up.
R) Iff
S) Loudness
T) Diary of a Madman.
U) Lowdown
V) Ipso
W) Farthest Shore.
X) Ethos.

The text: People walked the streets wearing facemasks or climbed into their panic rooms or headed for hilltops and deserted islands with years supplies of food and weapons.
