Crossover

De: Michael Jan Friedman

Narrado por: Jonathan Frakes

Ambassador Spock continues his mission to unify the Romulan and Vulcan peoples, but is captured by a Romulan spy. Starfleet dispatches its best ship, the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM 1701-D, and its most respected captain, Jean-Luc Picard, to secure the release of the ambassador. Ambassador McCoy, now over 140 years old, is also sent to assist in the negotiations. But the situation becomes further complicated when another of Spock's former shipmates, Montgomery "Scotty" Scott confiscates an out-of-service starship and effects his own daring rescue of his friend.© & (P)1995 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Jonathan Frakes gives an excellent performance

the story was excellent. Jonathan Frakes gives an excellent voice performance. his Picard and Scotty in particular are rather convincing. This is one of those books that are written well enough that when you remember it you confuse whether you've heard it as a book or watch it as a movie.

Great Book

Story was great. Great Listen! I Suggest people listen to this title. Star Trek fans will love it.

I love this book that was adapted to audio

I love this book that was adapted to audio it was a pure enjoyment I could almost imagine if it was made as a TV movie

Another Great Novel!!

Another great novel bringing Crew Members from the USS Enterpise 1701 and the Next Generation Enterprise NCC 1701-D.

Great Combo of STOS and STNG

True to all the characters. Great action packed story. Fantastic performance by Jonathan Frakes. Satisfying ending.

Great quick Star Trek story.

Fun little story, with a familiar voice in Jonathan Frakes, taking you through an adventure with characters from the Original Series and The Next Generation. The only thing I would want is more or another project like it to come along.

Jonathan Frakes did an awesome job voicing each character. it was a real treat listening to this to a from on a long car ride

I loved imagining my favorite crew members from my favorite sci-fi franchise in yet another full blown conflict

Stunted only by its abridgment.

Much too short, both for the money and for the content. Frakes does give us a hilarious Picard impression, however.

Indulgent Fun

This is a good little story delivering the crossover a lot of fans called for between the original series and next generation. While it can be a little over the top (especially with Scotty's engineering skills) it has a lot of enjoyable moments between crew members and good adventure scenes. I also think the story of the Romulans and the Vulcans as a core reason for the story conflict works extremely well.

Yes this was adapted for Audio which means it is abridged with scenes cut out. It is obvious some of those scenes were important to the story. Still the story works overall and was interesting as told. The abridgement makes sense as it was recorded in an era when such recordings demanded a larger amount of file space or storage items. I do think these sorts of novels could be rerecorded now for the benefit of current listeners.

Jonathan Frakes does a fine job as a voice actor and tries hard to deliver Scotty's accent. I do agree with others his impression of Picard is interesting. Frakes does a good, if thankless, job of delivering this story and keeping it understandable. Unfortunately the recording doesn't help him. I dont mind special effect sounds but if they're significantly louder and drowning out the words of the voice actor or causing pain when wearing headphones that is a problem. Further many of the characters have a weird reverb that distorts their words and makes them harder to understand. These sorts of production issues really hurt the overall end product and cause me to say the book should be avoided.

It's okay

It's a descent story, but not one of the best Star Trek novels I've read (or heard). Be prepared for some entertaining reading from Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker from Next Gen). This book is worth getting just to hear him do Captain Picard?s voice.
