About this listen

Continuing the milestone 50th anniversary celebration of Star Trek - a brand-new novel of The Original Series featuring James T. Kirk, Spock, and the crew of the USS Enterprise!

Investigating a series of violent raids by a mysterious predatory species, Captain James T. Kirk discovers that these events share a startling connection with the First Federation, a friendly but secretive civilization contacted early in the USS Enterprise's five-year mission. Traveling to the First Federation in search of answers, the Enterprise suddenly comes under attack from these strange marauders. Seeking refuge, the starship finds its way to the true home of the First Federation, an astonishing collection of worlds hidden from the galaxy beyond. The inhabitants of this isolated realm are wary of outsiders, and some accuse Kirk and his crew for bringing the wrath of their ancient enemy down upon them. When an attempt to stave off disaster goes tragically wrong, Kirk is held fully accountable, and Commander Spock learns there are even deeper forces that threaten this civilization. If Kirk and Spock cannot convince the First Federation's leaders to overcome their fears, the resulting catastrophe could doom them all!

I liked how this book referenced the both Chekov’s leaving the Enterprise for Security Division training and introducing the new bridge crew members seen in Star Trek The Animated Series. The voice characterizations are well done and really make you feel like you are experiencing an episode of the original series.

The Narrator Petkoff keeps getting better with the character voices. His Kirk has become a treat to any fan of the original series. The story was well written and felt true to the original. I hope they will continue these unabridged books.

Star Trek UNABRIDGED. Like watching STO TV.
