Publisher's summary

After the end of the Enterprise™'s five-year mission, Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy struggle to establish new lives apart from one another and the starship. The newly promoted Admiral Kirk is placed in charge of a specially created Starfleet division and attempts to defuse a critical hostage situation; Mr. Spock, who, in the midst of a teaching assignment on Vulcan, finds the one thing he least expected; and Dr. McCoy, whose unerring instinct for trouble lands him smack in the middle of an incident that could trigger an interstellar bloodbath.

Unexpected

I think this is the story prior to one of the Star Trek movies. I didn't expect that it will sustain my interest up to the end of the story. The plot is simple, but interesting.

I want to listen to more Star Trek books by Dillard. I also like Nimoy and Doohan's narrations.

New discoveries peaked interest

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

There are many fascinating documentaries on what today's astrophysicist are discovering and what people like Stephen Hawking say might be possible someday. Could traveling past the speed of light be possible someday? The book, it is written beautifully and very gripping. I love every minute. 2 hrs is not enough; I want a series from this author. Call me greedy. Deserves no less than 5 stars.

What did you like best about this story?

The writing and sound effects were harmonized perfectly.

The wisely "lost years"

Spock was great. Scotty narrating not so much. not the best from this author, by far.

It was okay, in short.

Like any other Star Trek story, predictable without any consequences. Almost a waste of time.

abridged is an understatement

if I hadn't gotten this for $4 there would have been no way I'd spend good money on this.

James Doohan narrates

Of course, I love "Scotty" and do not at all mind listening to him narrate. But they advertise this as being narrated by Leonard Nimoy. In fact, there are two or three, five minute segments, narrated by him. The rest is James Doohan. Surely at this point it must be possible to get a computer to convincingly read a book, and sound like the real Leonard Nimoy? And if they could, then there could be a Nimoy-read version of any title you want. And I would have his voice read everything to me, exclusively. Well, him and Wil Wheaton. Nobody reads Scalzi like Wheaton. :)

My biggest complaint about audio books in general is the tedious, overly affected narrators. There are a couple of very common ones whom I particularly loathe. Several really excellent novels have been just ruined for me by hammy actors reading them.

The final mind battle

Riveting and exciting a great story wish Mr Roddenberry had told such tales TOS might have made their five seasons
