Spock Vs Q Volume 1

De: Leonard Nimoy, Alien Voices

Narrado por: John de Lancie

As the end of the twentieth century nears, an asteroid is hurtling toward Earth. When it hits, the impact will result in the end of all life on the planet.

Ambassador Spock travels back in time to subtly warn Earth's inhabitants of impending doom while calling into question humanity's priorities. However, before the truth is told, the all-powerful being Q appears and reminds Spock that he is prohibited from interfering in Earth's history. Besides, Q doesn't see mankind as something worth saving.

This initial encounter between the two legendary characters explodes into a battle of wits as Spock cleverly befuddles Q with his own words. As barbs are exchanged, and humanity's flaws and wonders are laid bare, Spock's logic just may convince Q that humans are indeed a species worthy of salvation, but will he be too late?© and (P)Alien Voices, Inc., All rights reserved; (P)1999 Simon & Schuster; AUDIOWORKS is an imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Fun verbal banter between two star trek greats.

This is definitely a stage drama in front of a live audience; know it for what it is. As such, I found it remarkably entertaining. The skill and presence of both actors that made these two characters great is well expressed in this venue, as both are clearly having a tremendous time with the exchange. It is full of heart, wit and laughter. They play anachronistically, using the current global green issue as the form of the interaction, while incorporating many nuances from the series as tidbits to play off. I would agree it is definitely aimed at trekkers, and would be most appreciated by that crowd, but as such it is very enjoyable.

Exceptional!

Loved it, Love it, will always Love it!! Remember listening to this when I was little before I fell asleep, just cracking up as I dozed off.

Hilarious!

Two of SRAR TREK's most popular and endearing players match wits in this memorable playoff. A planet-killing asteroid hurtles towards Earth, and Spock has travelled back in time to remedy the situation. But warning the hapless humans would violate the Federation’s prime directive. And Q appears

Entertaining!

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

I'd happily recommend this to any other Star Trek fans.

Have you listened to any of Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first time I've heard Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie's performances on Audible, and I loved it. Their characterisations and deliery were wonderful. There was an underlying serious message within the performance, which was balanced by the inherent enjoyment between both Nimoy, de Lancie and the audience. Five stars!

Any additional comments?

I've come across references to the 'Alien Voices' series in the past and this recording was my first experience. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will be tracking some more down in future.

Vulcans are sneaky

I loved it, especially Spock's joke! The banter between them is priceless, I wasted energy on belly laughs. (too human)
