Emissary Volume 1

De: J.M. Dillard

Narrado por: Nana Visitor

An original novel based on the acclaimed Star Trek TV series!

Commander Benjamin Sisko is just recovering from the death of his wife when he is assigned command over the former Cardassian, but new Federation space station, Deep Space Nine. This space station is strategically located not only because of its orbit about Bajor, but also because of its proximity to the only known stable wormhole in the galaxy. After meeting the other Bajoran and Starfleet personnel assigned to the station, including a former Bajoran freedom fighter and a shapeshifter, Sisko finds himself in that very wormhole and in the midst of a metaphysical experience as the alien inhabitants of the wormhole question the concepts of time and love. Sisko, filled with humanistic hubris, begins to explain these experiences, and resolve his painful past.© & (P)1993 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Great story

I can say the movie did justice to the book. Love it and the reader was excellent

Live long and prosper

This book is an example of the Star Trek universe at its best. I first encountered this book, years ago, thanks to my Grandfather. Now years later have had a chance to listen to one of Star Trek Finest adventures, Thank you Grandpa, Thank you Audible.com

The Emissary Arrives

I am a star trek fan from forever and a deep space nine fan from the moment it began. I I loved the audible performance of Emissary. The story is great and you do get a bit more insight into the characters inner voices than from the TV episode which is what I like the most. The narrator , Nana Visitor, was great. It made the performance so much better having one of the deep space nine actors as the narrator. The only thing that would have made it better would be to have it be longer. Also I wish audible would do more unabridged deep space nine audible performances. Alexia, are you listening?

Awesome

Loved it Nana Visitor did a great job. Want more stories from her pretty please.

This was an amazing (but short) story!

The music. The voice actress. The plot. All of the above and more was top notch!

I look forward to the next title in the audiobook series.

This is most definitely worth a look!

Redefining the future

Emissary, the pilot for Star Trek: Deep Space 9, may be the greatest science fiction story ever filmed; & KIRA Nerys actress Nana Visitor gives the spoken word version of this film every sympathy it needs. Ms V doesn't attempt to immitate the voices of her castmates - a plus, in my mp3 player - but instead gives a complex, character & narrative driven tale a powerful intimacy. Great stuff

Nana Visitor is outstanding

I love Star Trek, so perhaps I am not objective. But I think Nana Visitor's reading of this story sets the bar for what a 5-star performance rating should be. Magnificent. She brings the story to life.

Good story

can't wait to hear more of the same. great narration and sound effects. enjoyed it alot

The best Star Trek Series Narrated perfectly

Nana Visitors narration lifts this story to an exciting and enjoyable listening experience, the story is good, but the performance lifts it to the next level. My fave all time audio book, I had it on cassette back in the 90's. Audible to the rescue.

An ABSOLUTE Ride!!!

Nana doesn’t just read us a story and leave it there. She acts out an entire drama in a way that not only brought it to life, but made it her own.

That said, the story itself was an amazingly written love letter to the fans of the Star Trek Deep Space 9 series. It was an added treat to have Major Kira read it to us! What sets the story apart from the episode it was written about is the in-depth introspection with Commander Sisko and, oddly enough, Captain Picard. Definitely worth the listen.
