This book has extremely graphic sexual content and should come with a warning label. The reader did a good job but I’ve never been so embarrassed by a book as I was with this one.

If you want to know more about William Shatner you’ve got to listen to this book! I got tearful several times. (George Takei should read this book.)

Touches on so many familiar things, then puts a few twists in to hold your attention. For the audio book it would be better if the book was divided into more, much shorter chapters. Highly recommended “Sarek”.

Released at the same time as the new series "Star Trek: Discovery", this novel takes place a year before the events in the pilot episode and after Captain Pike of the USS Enterprise has visited Talos IV. If you're an Original Series fan you'll better understand where "Discovery" falls in the Star Trek timeline with this reference to Talos IV. We have the Enterprise and Pike in this novel which means, of course, we have Science Office Mr. Spock. The relationship between Michael Burnham (the female heroine In Discover--don't assume names are gender specific) and Spock will make every minute you spend reading this book utterly satisfying. When reading a book based on an existing series I usually assume the known ships we encounter look as they do on the series. With the amazing set and special effects now available on ST:D in 2017 that were not available on ST:TOS in 1966 I suggest picturing the JJ Abrams version of the Enterprise.

I thought I knew how the United Federation of Planets worked. In the Star Trek series we are told there is no more poverty, no need for wages. But "Trekonomics" challenges that belief and probes at economies of a future fictional universe that is not quite what Trekkers/Trekkies think it is.

So much to be said by someone so young. Everyone should read this book because everyone will learn something they didn't know, particularly about apartheid in South Africa.

We all need to better understand how (political) Washington works and this is the book to teach us. Thanks to Franke's talent for comedy combined with his high intellect, "Giant of the Senate" is an enjoyable way to learn about running for political offices and serving in the US Senate.
