About this listen

A thrilling new novel based on the Paramount+ TV series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!

While patrolling the borders of the Klingon Empire, Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise record a series of subspace echoes from a planet orbiting a volatile flare star—and when Lieutenant Spock and Commander Una Chin-Riley lead a landing party to learn more, they discover the ruins of a dead civilization and evidence of starship-grade metals…quite possibly a crash site.

As they continue to investigate the strange signals, Spock and Una find shocking signs of dangerous alien life and remnants of what can only be Federation hardware. The trail soon leads Pike and Enterprise’s helmswoman Lieutenant Erica Ortegas deep into the mystery of a lost Starfleet vessel, missing in action for over ninety years—and to a terrible dilemma that will challenge the crew to question their past...and their future.

The book is well written. Puts you into the world of the Enterprise. It is hopeful and realistic. Full of technobabble and the brilliant crew.

Excellent book well written and performed

Robert Petkoff is the best

Checked all the boxes, battling Klingons, dangerous Alien life forms, strange new culture, overcoming nearly unsermountable challenges, loads of fun.

Classic Trek

I really wanted to like this, all the Strange New World books have been great, but this one relies heavily on large grotesque insects (think Peter Jackson’s King Kong) and I felt very uncomfortable listening to multiple big parts of the book.

Didn’t hold up to the high country SNW book. Was looking forward to this and was disappointed.

Meeeeehhhhh

I'm not a fan of when they focus on number one, In the novels at least I think she's a poorly written and ill thought out character that makes unrelentingly stupid decisions one after the other.

The Ship combat isn't really very well thought out either, The author would be. Well served by reading some of david webber or possibly even the lost fleet series.

Don't get me wrong, the story is definitely worth a read.

I definitely find the television series better though and that's rare.

I like the underlying story.

Overly descriptive, trite, and unnatural flow—as if written by a second-year college student in a creative writing class. Narrator was good.

Poor Writing
