About this listen

An electrifying thriller from the New York Times best-selling author in the Star Trek: The Next Generation universe.

It's 2031. US Air Force fighter jets shoot down an unidentified spacecraft and take its crew into custody. Soon it's learned that the ship is one of several dispatched across space by an alien species, the Eizand, to search for a new home before their own world becomes uninhabitable. Fearing extraterrestrial invasion, government and military agencies that for more than 80 years have operated in secret swing into action, charged with protecting humanity no matter the cost....

It's 2386. Continuing their exploration of the Odyssean Pass, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the starship Enterprise discover what they at first believe is a previously uncharted world, with a civilization still recovering from the effects of global nuclear war. An astonishing priority message from Starfleet Command warns that there's more to this planet than meets the eye, and Picard soon realizes that the mysteries of this world may well weave through centuries of undisclosed human history....

Like other who have reviewed this piece, I found the ending confusing and confounding, not having at all to do with the prior many chapters, which otherwise were a great Star Trekian read. The narration was top notch. I especially liked Picard's narration. Felt like I was watching the original series.

T’Pol said; ‘you asked me to tell you a story.’ This book was entertaining. I liked the way the past and future storylines were written. I didn’t like how quickly peace came about. I would’ve liked this to have become a series. This is only one humans opinion.

Enjoyed the performance.

The fights are terrible. They make no sense and seem fixed. The reader is good but the story is terrible.

Not great story

Story was very intriguing and suspenseful. It kept the genre in tact and filled in a gap within the historical time line. Well done!!

One of the best Star Trek Audiblebooks

The narrator was so good that I actually felt like I was watching the real characters. I can't wait to gind another masterpiece from the author and narrator.

Loved this one,it had plenty of action and tension

Robert Petkoff range of character voices made it easy to picture Captain Picard, Worf and a number of other characters. I watched Assignment: Earth from TOS one evening and it brought Gary Seven to life too. Fun listening.

Awesome narrator

I would recommend reading or listening to EVERY BOOK you can. Each book will reference the other books he wrote. HE CAN WRITE!!! All his books are GREAT. And I do not say that very often.

Ward does it again!

This is a solid Star Trek story. The plot is a little predictable but still good. Picard feels a little off character to me but not enough that it's jarring. also, there are some deep cut references to Trek history/characters for those in the know. But if you don't know it won't effect your enjoyment of the story.

Solid Trek

it's a good story but some of the small stuff is messed up. in several parts they mix up star wars and star trek terminology, and the narrator mispronounced the name of the admiral everytime.

good overall some details wrong
