Star Trek: Sarek

De: A.C. Crispin

Narrado por: Mark Lenard

Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, is dying, and Spock returns to the planet Vulcan where he and Sarek enjoy a rare moment of rapprochement. But just as his wife's illness grows worse, duty calls Sarek away, once again sowing the seeds of conflict between father and son. Yet soon Sarek and Spock must put aside their differences and work together to foil a far-reaching plot to destroy the Federation, a plot that Sarek has seen in the making for nearly his entire career.

The crew of the U.S.S. EnterpriseTM journeys to the heart of the Klingon Empire where Captain Kirk's last surviving relative has become a pawn in a battle to divide and conquer the Federation. With Sarek's help, the crew of the Starship Enterprise learns that all is not as it seems. But before they can prevent the Federation's destruction, they must see the face of their hidden enemy, an enemy more insidious and more dangerous than any they have faced before.

Great story

This story takes place after the final movie with the original cast (Star Trek VI : The Undiscovered Country). Well written, and well narrated; made me start looking for other pocket books with no luck. Hope Audible produces more....

what a great book to listen to

I really enjoyed this book a great deal I love listening to it while I work and wine down when I got home from work I highly recommend this book even if you only listen to the audio

Great story

It's like a continuation of ST6 and the book Best Destiny, taking place after both by my reckoning. One critique, it would have been helpful if there was more of a break when the character POV changed, sometimes it was rather sudden and made for some confusing continuity moments since it seemed like the reader didn't pause at all.

Almost Perfect!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would indeed recommend this audio version. The narrator was perfect in his ability to draw me into the Star Trek world. I read this book back when first published and this is the first time I've revisited it in all these years and in this format it was more enjoyable.

Which character – as performed by Nick Sullivan – was your favorite?

Sarek. Though no Mark Lenard, Sullivan has the gravitas to pull off one of Star Trek's most famous characters.

The voice acting.

I liked the way this book ties so much Star Trek history together. Knowing what became of Peter James Kirk was enjoyable as well.
