About this listen

An epic new Star Trek saga by New York Times best-selling author Dayton Ward set during the original Five-Year Mission!

For years, Starfleet Intelligence agents have carried out undercover assignments deep within the Klingon Empire. Surgically altered and rigorously trained in Klingon culture, they operate in plain sight and without any direct support, while collecting information and infiltrating the highest levels of imperial power. Their actions have given Starfleet valuable insight into the inner workings of Klingon government and its relentless military apparatus.

After three of Starfleet’s longest serving agents fear exposure, they initiate emergency extraction procedures. Their planned rendezvous with the USS Endeavour goes awry, threatening to reveal their activities and the damaging intelligence they’ve collected during their mission. Tasked by Starfleet to salvage the botched rescue attempt, Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise must discover the truth behind a secret weapons experiment while avoiding an interstellar incident with the potential to ignite a new war between the Federation and one of its oldest adversaries.

Entertaining Trek!

A very detailed Star Trek story, giving readers and listeners alike a solid, exhaustive look at another Starship, the USS Endeavor. A good, military look, as well - Enjoyed by this Retired US Army Veteran! A good look at the legendary crew of the USS Enterprise as well, focusing on all 7 primaries, with some surprises as well! Well worth a Trek fan's time! B+ - A, for effort, and result.

Great storyline

It's always a treat to hear about what happens on other Starfleet ships. And it's a pleasure to be reunited with Captain Atish Khatami and the USS Endeavor. The performance by the reader was superb. I lost count of the number of characters he voiced but in each instance, both the Enterprise crew we know and the other characters we were being introduced to over the course of the story, were authentically portrayed. Great job!!

Amazing

"New Trek" got you afraid for the futrue of Trek? ... Listen to this. Have some hope. There's still life in those bones, yet.

The amount of ways this book connects to TOS, without smacking you in the forehead with it, is really amazing.

The plot, concepts, feel, tone ... this is Trek. Military overtones, professionalism, and a sense of duty to their ship, crew, and fleet. The cultures outside of the Federation are also on full display, with subtle nuance that isn't trying to reinvent the wheel; it just casts what was already established in the scene and lets the story and characters take over.

Hats off to Dayton Ward.

And, lest we forget, Robert Petkoff did an outstanding job with the narration and was faithful to the characters without being comedic; we knew who was speaking without needing a reminder, but didn't become an impressionist. He made the characters his own and it really added to the book when it could have easily taken away from it.

A Great TOS story

What a great story. It is filled with Spies, the Endeavor, Enterprise and a really unique twist.
