About this listen

The Federation races to discover the culprits of several terrorist attacks, sending their flagship, the USS Prometheus, to stop war breaking out in the galaxy.

The situation in the Lembatta Cluster is deteriorating rapidly. Fleets from the Federation and Klingon Empire are heading for the borders. The crews of the USS Prometheus and IKS Bortas are racing against time to break the cycle of violence that is spreading through the Alpha Quadrant.

Adams and Kromm are on the trail of a secret weapons facility but instead discover an enemy from their pasts who seems utterly unstoppable. Together, they search for the answers to their questions before the galaxy goes down in flames.

Ok story.

The narrator murdered every pronunciation he possibly could. Was there any consultation? Story was ok. Lost me a few times.

Great story

but holy crap some of the pronunciations of proper nouns and others...needed work. it would have been a far more enjoyable experience otherwise but overall I enjoyed it. Maybe I'm being nit-picky.

Over all a good Trek Story

I sadly grabbed this and started on Book 3 but it was not hard to jump in there. It was a well crafted story and well narrated. I suppose I wouldn't write much at all but one thing grated on my nerves. The narrator being from the UK would naturally pronounce many words not in the American style. No problem. However, it bothered me that the director or producer did not provide the artist with accepted pronunciations of Trek works. Species names, Trek techno-jargon. Character names. He was not briefed on how to say words like Raktajino or even the proper way to say Kieko O'Brien. This is not the author or actors issue. I think the producer dropped the ball here and it really pulled me out of my Trek groove as I enjoyed the rest of the experience.

Slightly anti-climatic

For the most part an improvement over the first two in the series, but the climax as oddly dissatisfying. I think it was because of the climax of the Red Sun issue. How do you confront the challenge, pass out, then wake up and its all over??? What happened in between?

Story was ok, bad Narration

The story had good potential but a combination of an extremely anti-climatic finale as well as the author continually adding quotes from past movies and episodes, drove me crazy. I mean I am not against quotes, but it felt like so many were forced, and sheer amount made it feel like he was bordering on plagiarism.

The narrator clearly never saw a single Star Trek episode or movie, based on his continual mis-pronouncements of even the most basic ST words. I mean can’t they do just a little research when reading something that has a following like Star Trek, or did the publisher just want to save as much money as possible and hired the cheapest narrator they could find?

Pronunciations

My only problem is that some of the pronunciations strayed from the canonical pronunciations.

Your narrator does know Trek

At the very least let someone who watches some Trek explain how words are supposed to sound.

Well...

Third book and last of the series. It was decent story, with lots of familiar names and Spock. That said, I felt confused at times with all these characters. Most of them not quite reaching their potential. You have Kirks distant relative onboard, who kind of dislikes James T Kirk's legacy, (understandable) but still does not have any interaction with Spock. Which bit amazed me to be honest. No curiousity, no reactions, no nothing from.eitber side.
Story jumped quite a bit to side stories, which made it feel like dragging. I would have hoped that story would have stuck with Prometheus and Klingon vessels more. We kind of understood the going mad from book one already. Also, I personally would have liked USS Valiant have bigger role in this.

Narrator (s) was good. I did not see any big problems. Suited to this story well.

Interesting conclusion.

Overall, an interesting conclusion to the trilogy. However, they really need to get the narrator pronunciation guide as the pronunciation of many Star Trek terms continues in this third book of the series. Overall, I enjoyed it.
