The crews of Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin Sisko, Ezri Dax, and William Riker unite to prevent a cosmic-level apocalypse - only to find that some fates really are inevitable.

Tomorrow is doomed.

Time is coming apart. Countless alternate and parallel realities are under attack, weakening and collapsing from relentless onslaught. If left unchecked, the universe faces an unstoppable descent toward entropy.

Wanderer, oracle, ally

Scarred and broken after decades spent tracking this escalating temporal disaster, while battling the nameless enemy responsible for it, an old friend seeks assistance from Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise. The apocalypse may originate from their future, but might the cause lie in their past?

The Final Frontier for Star Trek's EU

Two of the greatest franchises in the last half century, Star Trek and Star Wars have a 20 year extended universe of tie in novels.
Both franchises have been revived in recent years to varying degrees of quality.
However as the very familiar Star Trek The Next Generation Series Finale Reflects within this novel franchise finale, All Good Things must end eventually.
Rather than repeating the fate of the Star Wars EU, Star Trek's EU gets to go out with a bang that will literally destroy it's multiverse so that like highlander, there can be only one universe, CBS's Prime Time Line of Star Trek Picard and Star Trek Discovery.
The Story of the first novel by Dayton Ward is astounding!
A Crises Of Infinite Treks level plot that will grab your imagination from the first page to the last.
Characters that we know and love struggling against a quantum threat that intends to collapse the multiverse and wipe out all of existence.
Book 1 of 3,(Moment's Asunder) is a thrilling beginning to what seems like one unforgettable finale to one of the greatest series in the Star Trek Franchise, The Star Trek EU!

The beginning of a fitting end.

Star Trek: Coda is bringing to a close decades of storytelling that, like many other older franchises, were the continuing adventures of characters we had learn to love on screen, but found a deeper appreciation for in print. I haven’t read much of the Star Trek novels over the years. But I want to read this one because it’s giving the closure that Star Wars never did, acknowledging one timeline is coming to an end, to make room for another. It’s difficult, with the stories my generation grew up in getting rebooted, and subsequently the stories that sustained us overtime being washed away, to find a way to make the transition that respects both the old and new versions of the franchise. I feel like Coda is attempting to do that, and book one has done an excellent job.

Fun ride, excellent narration!

I have read very few Star Trek novels and had no idea where to start. I took a chance on this one because it had an intriguing premise and lots of crossovers from my favorite ships, characters, and concepts from Trek. Robert Petkoff does a phenomenal job narrating and truly captures the vocal cadence and personalities of our favorites. It was thrilling, interesting, and heartfelt from start to finish with plenty of “fill-in” bits to keep less well-versed readers in the loop and able to enjoy the ride. Definitely recommend!

excellent! explanation

excellent explanation of the retooling of the franchise in conjunction with TV shows movies and Discovery era post shows

Crisis on Infinite Star Treks

Wow. This was a great listen. Most of the time there's no real threat in a Star Trek book because you know that the main characters will live to fight another day (or be resurrected). Not this time. With the end of the expanded Star Trek book universe coming to a close, the stakes are the highest they've ever been. Even so, there are plenty of character moments that you'd expect in a Trek novel. I can't wait to read the next entries in this trilogy.

Making It So

Much like the reboot of Doctor Whk, this book is highly accessible. Those new to Star Trek literature are not obligated to have read 20 years of stories but if you have you are in for a treat. There is so much to say about this. In short, I didnt want to put this down. This is going to be the ST version of Infinity War/Endgame and I am here for it. I can't wait for the next story in this trilogy. Already planning a reread/register of this wonderful story.

Coda Book 1

Loved the tie-ins even though it seems all over the place. Knowing some of the back stories helps. Can’t wait to see what happens next in Coda Book
2.

Good

The reader was great, but the story was hard to follow at times but over all a good story...

great book

i love st usually but t one thing from the show, i HATED wesley crusher! CA! at any rate, this book was so stremlined to the story it was just like watching the show tng but they also even made wesley a somewhat likable character.

Great, even for new fans.

You do not have to have read the litverse to enjoy this. Ward did an outstanding job filling in enough of 20 years of books to appreciate the story. I had only read a handful over the years.

The performance was also amazing. The narrator pulled off legendary character voices to a very satisfactory degree.

Thank you to Mr. Ward and the rest for not pulling a Disney and respecting what came before.
