About this listen

An exhilarating thriller from best-selling author Dayton Ward set in the universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation, following Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew as they explore the previously uncharted and dangerous Odyssean Pass.

Surveying a nebula as part of their continuing exploration of the previously uncharted Odyssean Pass, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the starship Enterprise encounter a rogue planet. Life signs are detected on the barren world's surface, and then a garbled message is received: a partial warning to stay away at all costs. Determined to render assistance, Picard dispatches Commander Worf and an away team to investigate, but their shuttlecraft is forced to make an emergency landing on the surface - moments before all contact is lost and the planet completely disappears.

Worf and his team learn that this mysterious world is locked into an unending succession of random jumps between dimensions, the result of an ambitious experiment gone awry. The Enterprise crew members and the alien scientists who created the technology behind this astonishing feat find themselves trapped, powerless to break the cycle. Meanwhile, as the planet continues to fade in and out of various planes of existence, other parties have taken notice....

This story is classic Next Gen material. Very faithful to Star Trek’s original universe. But the big factor here is the reader’s ability to sound like Picard, Riker, Data, LaForge and such. Not only “sound” like them, but he imitates their speech pattern and emphasis. This made me picture the cast and the ship clearly in my mind. Wonderful experience.

Narrator is amazing

If you're looking for a Star Trek book very much like an episode of The Next Generation, then you will enjoy this one! The story is great, the characters hold true to what you know and does a wonderful job of bringing in different time frames of the Star Trek story. It does fit into a longer running story across other books, but it is not necessary to follow this particular book. It will likely, make you want to look into those other books, which I highly recommend!

Just like an episode of The Next Generation.

the narrator is good at doing the character voices and the story harkens back to the original TNG.

good old fashioned original TNG.

Voice acting was great although I am still confused as to why the actor was able to do a great Riker, Picard, Jordie and even Data but didn’t even come close to Worf though he clearly has the talent for it. The rest were so good that the really bad Worf was distracting.

The story was excruciatingly slow and the climax was about as exciting as I would have liked chapter 1 to be. That said, as an avid ST:TNG reader I must admit I’ve already bought another book from this author because I suspect the next one will be much better. I don’t regret listening to this.

Slow but good if you are more interested in character vs excitement.

The many dimensions along with so many different characters made it difficult to follow at times. overall I'm very happy with the story.

A Great Star Trek Generations Adventure

Really slow and uneventful, more about characters talking to each other abt how they feel abt the action than the action itself.

It's a good Segway to a sequel

the narration really brought this book together! the narrator did an exemplary recreation of the original cast's voice and made everything less confusing and very easy to visualize in my head. As a long time trekkie I really enjoyed this book, but it may be a bit more confusing for a person with no experience in the Star trek lore.

very well narrated!
