Captain's Blood

De: William Shatner

Narrado por: William Shatner

This thrilling and sweeping Star Trek adventure from William Shatner brings together multiple generations to face an unstoppable enemy in a battle for the existence of all life in the galaxy and beyond.

Following the explosive events of Star Trek Nemesis, the Romulan Star Empire is in disarray, and Ambassador Spock attempts to render aid by launching a last-ditch effort to reunify the Romulans with their distant forebearers, the Vulcans. But when Spock is publicly assassinated at a Romulan peace rally, Starfleet and the Federation are unable to search for the criminals responsible without triggering an intergalactic war.

Thus, it falls to the now retired James T. Kirk to investigate his beloved friend’s murder. Given clandestine assistance by Captain Will Riker and accompanied by his good friend Jean-Luc Picard, Kirk travels to Romulus as a civilian, along with his five-year-old child, Joseph, the cantankerous Doctor McCoy, retired Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott, as well as several members of Picard’s crew. But on Romulus’s sister world, Remus, Kirk unexpectedly encounters an alluring enemy from his past as Picard and he discover Spock’s apparent murder hides an even deeper mystery, literally reaching beyond the limits of the galaxy.

Trapped on a deadly, alien world on the eve of a Romulan civil war that could plunge the galaxy into a civilization-ending conflict, Kirk’s investigation at last brings him to the heart of a staggering conspiracy. Now, he discovers the true threat facing the Romulans, and is forced into the heartrending realization that for peace to prevail, he must sacrifice the freedom of his son, whose very blood holds the secret to his startling destiny.

Another hit by Bill Shatner

Would you consider the audio edition of Captain's Blood to be better than the print version?

The audio version is great. You can feel the passion and imagination explode onto the virtual movie screen in your mind by listening to Mr. Shatner's reading of this story. I recommend this to any fan of William Shatner, or of Star Trek.

A short entry in the Shatnerverse

I probably should have read,(listened) to this part of the series some 20+ years ago. But finally got around to listening and finishing it now. Personally,I don't think it's a great sequel to previous books in the series. But it's not terrible either for a non cannon story.

it was cool...great story

To see Picard with Shatner as Captain Kirk and then LaForge with Scotty it was a glorious tale....

Star Trek for fans

I always like William Shatners portrail of the various characters. This is classic Star Trek.

C-

Ive loved all Shatners trek books and I love the action and adventures he takes Kirk on, teaming up with TNG characters alot. With that being said this book is the most boring of all his Trek narratives. Not saying its bad but can't hold a candle to his mirror universe trilogy I loved. Trek fans will enjoy reguardless as I did but dont expect a heart racing story like some of his others.
