classic star trek

This is a really fun listen in classic star trek tradition. I really enjoyed the series.

Great story

but holy crap some of the pronunciations of proper nouns and others...needed work. it would have been a far more enjoyable experience otherwise but overall I enjoyed it. Maybe I'm being nit-picky.

Over all a good Trek Story

I sadly grabbed this and started on Book 3 but it was not hard to jump in there. It was a well crafted story and well narrated. I suppose I wouldn't write much at all but one thing grated on my nerves. The narrator being from the UK would naturally pronounce many words not in the American style. No problem. However, it bothered me that the director or producer did not provide the artist with accepted pronunciations of Trek works. Species names, Trek techno-jargon. Character names. He was not briefed on how to say words like Raktajino or even the proper way to say Kieko O'Brien. This is not the author or actors issue. I think the producer dropped the ball here and it really pulled me out of my Trek groove as I enjoyed the rest of the experience.

Slightly anti-climatic

For the most part an improvement over the first two in the series, but the climax as oddly dissatisfying. I think it was because of the climax of the Red Sun issue. How do you confront the challenge, pass out, then wake up and its all over??? What happened in between?

Story was ok, bad Narration

The story had good potential but a combination of an extremely anti-climatic finale as well as the author continually adding quotes from past movies and episodes, drove me crazy. I mean I am not against quotes, but it felt like so many were forced, and sheer amount made it feel like he was bordering on plagiarism.

The narrator clearly never saw a single Star Trek episode or movie, based on his continual mis-pronouncements of even the most basic ST words. I mean can’t they do just a little research when reading something that has a following like Star Trek, or did the publisher just want to save as much money as possible and hired the cheapest narrator they could find?

Ok story.

The narrator murdered every pronunciation he possibly could. Was there any consultation? Story was ok. Lost me a few times.

Unfortunate narrator

While the story was great and the narrator is good, you can tell he isn’t a Star Trek fan. He kept mispronouncing Star Trek words incorrectly which took me out of the story each time.

Interesting conclusion.

Overall, an interesting conclusion to the trilogy. However, they really need to get the narrator pronunciation guide as the pronunciation of many Star Trek terms continues in this third book of the series. Overall, I enjoyed it.


best book of the Trilogy

a fine end to an interesting story. Not a single derisive snort in the whole book.

a good conclusion to a story.

it was a good story like the previous books however, it was just a slow story. but this last book was much more exciting than the first two. but it was a good Star Trek story all the same. I also thought that the narrator did a very good job.
