The official novelization of the blockbuster film!

Months after the dramatic events seen in the 2009 blockbuster film Star Trek, the crew of the USS Enterprise—including Captain James T. Kirk, First Officer Spock, Doctor Leonard McCoy, Lieutenant Nyota Uhura, Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott, Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu, and Ensign Pavel Chekov—is called back home. But an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has declared all-out war on Starfleet and everything it stands for, leaving Earth in a state of crisis. Now with a personal score to settle as a result, Kirk must lead a covert manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one-man weapon of mass destruction. As these valiant heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Captain Kirk has left: his crew.

I am a trekkie. I love the movies and listened to the audible book, Star Trek - Movie Tie-In, which was narrated wonderfully by Zachary Quinto, (Spock in the movie).

Anyway, I expected to enjoy Into Darkness just as much, when I saw Alice Eve, (Admiral’s daughter, Carol, in movie) was the narrator.

Her beautifully, lilting British accent carried me along in the story until she had to speak quite a bit as her father and Khan. Disastrously horrid voice work here. She made them both sound like whiny, evil trolls.

I know it’s hard to compete with the melodious voice of Benedict Cumberbatch, Khan in the movie, but she seemed to try voice Khan opposite to how he would sound with a nasally, high pitched, wheedling voice.

It became impossible to finish the book as the admiral and Khan were speaking to each other. I thought my head would explode from sheer aggravation.

Don’t know why Alice Eve made the decision to voice those two characters that way or why no one involved in the audio production stopped her.

Also, she did quite well with the other male voices. Odd. Just very odd.

Was all good until...

Where does Star Trek: Into Darkness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is a bit of fun. It is good for the times when I want entertainment and not to think too much. Enough action to be enjoyable but it still has a good narrative.

What did you like best about this story?

I'm not a big Star Trek fan but have watched some of the tv series. I loved that I could be interested in this story without having to know all the fan stuff. Everything is fresh and light. I loved the way the narrator handled the characters and accents.

What about Alice Eve’s performance did you like?

She brought the different characters to life with ease. It was easy to understand and tell who was talking in every case. Most of the time I forgot that she was female and just let her talent for voices carry on.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I didn't want a book to listen to in one sitting as I just wanted something to relax to and wind down with. Even so, I found the book interesting right to the end. There were enough twists and turns to keep the narrative moving forward and the end was satisfactorily summed up.

Any additional comments?

A good listen even if you aren't a dyed in the wool fan.

a good story that is told well.

What did you like best about Star Trek: Into Darkness? What did you like least?

I thought the story was great, no surprise since I loved the movies. I hated the performance though. The narrator sounded like she was doing an over the top Betty Davis impersonation with both Marcus and Kahn. Also she over acted so much of it that it was very hard to listen to. I would recommend reading the book but with this performance wouldn't recommend listening.

Do you think Star Trek: Into Darkness needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes but I hope that they will use the narrator from the first Star Trek 2009 adaptation.

Great Story Horrible Performance

The story was good and exactly what I expected. I found that the narrator actually detracted from the experience. Her character depictions were inconsistent and she failed to understand the emotion behind the characters. At times she tried (poorly) to speak as William Shatner portrayed Kirk then suddenly stopped. Her portrayal of Marcus was difficult to listen to. I would not recommend books read by her based on this reading.
