Publisher's summary

The time: six months prior to the launch of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-B and the tragic loss of Captain James T. Kirk in deep space. The place: Earth, where the galaxy's most renowned hero must face the spectre of retirement. But Kirk's path takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious woman offers him an irresistible adventure - a voyage to an uncharted planet where he will confront the ultimate threat to the peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, and the ultimate temptation - a chance to recapture his youth.

Not a bad Star Trek story....

But not a great one either. My issue with this (and it is mostly one of personal taste)is that it is very character-centric, specifically the Kirk Character, which I find a bit tiring. While the plot progresses nicely, it still seems a little heavy on the examination of inner workings of this "great hero", and tends to trump the story a bit. However, as I said, this is mainly my personal taste. It's a good story though, especially if you are a ST fan

Shatner is the coolest man on the planet.

This is a great dramatization. The sound effects are superb! Chekov's Russian accent was a little of, but it did not detract from the enjoyment of this mini audiodrama.

Star Trek at it's Best!

having been a fan of Star Trek since it began so many years ago, this story captures the essence of what Star Trek is all about!. Having it read by William Shatner and hearing his voice again, takes it to the next level. Highly recommend this book! The audio version is tremendous with special effects and storyline, I have listened to it several times.

An Interesting ST Story

This story by Shatner is interesting mainly because if takes place in STOS time and fits in well with the TV show. The story plays out like many ST novels and works well with Shatner's reading.

As a fan of STOS novels I have been wanting to read Shatner's work for a while, and this book did not disappoint me.
