Star Trek: The Original Series

De: Greg Cox

Narrado por: Robert Petkoff

An epic new Star Trek saga by New York Times best-selling author Greg Cox set during the original five-year mission!

The planet Vok is holding its first free elections after years of oppressive military rule. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise have been dispatched by Starfleet to serve as impartial observers, but remaining neutral proves a challenge, as Kirk confronts a tangled web of scandal, conspiracy, and assassination plots - with the stability of an entire sector at stake.

To make matters worse, Dr. Leonard McCoy has vanished while on a mission of mercy to Braco, a nearby planet only a system away. With Kirk unable to abandon his vital mission on Vok to hunt for his friend, it’s up to First Officer Spock and Christine Chapel to lead a team in search of the missing doctor, even if it means risking whatever fate befell McCoy.

Unknown to his friends and crewmates, however, McCoy has been spirited away to another world, Ozalor, where he’s expected to find a cure for a mysterious ailment plaguing a member of the planet’s ruling family. Torn between his Hippocratic oath and his desire to escape, McCoy finds himself at the center of deadly palace intrigues - and a struggle for power that may ultimately consume all three worlds!

Loved it

I loved every part of the storyline, the performance of the narrator, excellent as always. Robert Petkoff brings the story to life. He didn't just read the story, he makes you feel like you're right there in the thick of things, for example like when Spock was involved with the mind meld. It was very easy to follow along and made me want to stick with until the end. Which I gladly did.

The separate challenges

The dialogue stayed true to the TOS characters. The story (stories) were creative, plausible, exciting!

Excellent story!

Great book. It kept with the tradition of the original series. I truly enjoyed listening to it. Robert Petkoff narration was awesome!!

loved it

I'm not much for politics which this book is full of but I did really enjoy it.

Excellent Trek story with eerily similar overtones

The book was true to the Star Trek characters we know and love and tells of multiple adventures with one of them having echoes of the current U.S political climate.

Great story

I enjoyed this book very much. I recommend to original Star Trek fans. it was hard to put down.

Great performance good story

Kinda relevant to our current political situation but here we are. Miss the amount of books that were previously released from the Star Trek IP. Greg Cox is an amazing writer and love Robert Pekoff!

Multiple various voices

Very entertaining. A real white-knuckler throughout. I just wish I’ll be able to get more Star Trek Audibles with all the useless distraction cutbacks this administration is making! To SS and Medicare.

Wonderful

Parts were slow but it was still good. The idea that the Enterprise counted votes in a world-wide election was interesting. But the Spock/McCoy storyline was my favorite.

Robert Petkoff did a tremendous job

loved the dialog between the characters, and the story was very engaging on the planets involved in the action.
