Publisher's summary

The Dominion War is over. The Federation is at peace. What better time for two legendary starship captains to set aside the demands of duty and simply take some well-deserved time off?

But when James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard arrive on Bajor to dive among the ruins of an ancient sunken city, conditions are far from what they had planned. The small group of scientists the captains have joined suddenly find their equipment sabotaged - isolating them from Deep Space Nine - and any hope of rescue - as one by one, a murderer stalks them.

Cut off from the people and technology on which they have always depended, Kirk and Picard must rely on their own abilities, and their growing friendship, to solve the mysterious deaths and protect one of Bajor's greatest living treasures.

With time running out for a dying child trapped in the scientists' camp, and Picard missing after a diving disaster, Kirk must search his memories of the past to relive one of his earliest adventures, propelling him into a harrowing personal journey that reveals his path from young Starfleet officer to renowned legend, and the existence of a new and completely unsuspected threat to the existence of all life in the universe.

From the breathtaking shores of Bajor's Inland Sea to the welcoming arms of a seductive and deadly alien commander intent on making Kirk her own, Star Trek: Captain's Peril spans space and time to present Captain Kirk's most personal, and most extreme, adventure.

A strange but welcome blend of ToS and DS9

It's more or less the kind of story you expect from ToS, it certainly didn't disappoint on that front.
Really there are 2 major elements holding this story back. Picard who is just not a good fit for this kind of story so he ends up with nothing to do and the DS9 elements such as the Bajorans, who get more depth than a typical ToS alien race but still feel off relative to DS9's depictions of them.
Overall it's a fairly quick, enjoyable listen that scratches that Star Trek itch but maybe leaves you wanting more just maybe not exactly the way it intended.

Great continuation of Ashes of Eden series

I probably should have listened to this story 15 years ago. But somehow I lost track of Shatner's book series with my local library. I had some Audible points to use up. I glad I did so with this.

As a fan of the podcast "The Seventh Rule", the DS9 elements of this story are a nice bonus.

Atrocious narration

One of the few audiobooks I just can’t finished. Shatner’s attempts at emulating characters other than himself are beyond awful.
