Resumen del Editor

He was an Iowa farm boy and a war hero, promoted to the command of the Federation's most powerful starship. His first mission: to shuttle a troop of vaudevillians to a distant starbase. But a comedy of errors turns to deadly drama when a renegade Klingon tries to provoke a war with the Federation, and a wondrous, peaceful world is caught in between. Suddenly Captain Kirk is playing a part he never learned in school: fighting for the respect - and the survival - of his crew, on a mission that could turn out to be his last.

Sound effects are PROFOUNDLY distracting.

The story & voice performers were good, but especially for a hearing impaired individual, the sound effects were seriously disturbing, and made comprehension of the text difficult in the extreme nearly every instance that they were overlaid the text.

Lots of fun

I haven’t read this paperback, but I’m going to know. Also use headphones for best listening. The narration is far clearer that way. This really reminded me of an old Star Trek episode.

Superb, although some sound effects were too loud.

Personally, I loved hearing George Takei and Leonard Nimoy.
The banter between McCoy and Spock was priceless.
The use (and misuse) of Shakespeare was inspired, uproarious even.
The vivid settings played in my mind like an episode with a hundred million dollar script.
It was as though I had miraculously discovered an overlooked episode of the original series - one without any cringeworthy scenes.

My Review of the: ADAPTED STAR TREK ENTERPRISE: -

🗣It needs and needed to have more story and depth.....!🖥📀🖨⌨📚(🖖) So this limited :"STAR TREK ENTERPRISE": "" The First Adventure ""

Decent first adventure story.

Overall not bad. Sound effects sometimes hinder Voice dialogue. But Takei and Nimoy are wonderful.

Music too loud.

Background music and sound effects were too loud. It was difficult to hear the narrator.

Cool story

Great sound effects. love these old novels. Takei and Gimpy were great. rest in peace Vonda.

Not a Good Audiobook

I decided to listen to some of the older Star Trek novels, even though they are abridged. The abridgement of this one made the story difficult to follow; but, what really made it difficult to follow was the antiquated and unthoughtful production. I don't get the sense George Takei put a lot of thought into the job; and, even for the era, the quality of the recording is B-minus at best. His outrageous southern accent when voicing McCoy is almost laughable.
But the most offensive part of the production is the sound effects, which had nothing, are often inappropriate, and sometimes actually make the narrator inaudible.

It's not clear to me what this story is about. I suspect if there were an unabridged version without sound effects, it would be similar to many TOS episodes: Somewhat campy science fiction and the continuing adventures of the Enterprise.

Star Trek: Enterprise the great adventure

What did you love best about Star Trek?

The First interactions between Captain Kirk and the bridge crew.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Trek?

Everything without a doubt.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

They did an awesome job, I wouldn't change a thing.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It held me attention from beginning to end

Sound effects

I believe that the sound effects distracted from the reading. Perhaps a version without the effects.
