Publisher's summary

Are you willing to settle for an ordinary life? Or do you think you were meant for something better? Something special?"

One grew up in the cornfields of Iowa, fighting for his independence, for a way out of a life that promised only indifference, aimlessness and obscurity. "You will forever be a child of two worlds, capable of choosing your own destiny. The only question you face is, which path will you chose?"

The other grew up on the jagged cliffs of the harsh Vulcan desert, fighting for acceptance, for a way to reconcile the logic he was taught with the emotions he felt.

In the far reaches of the galaxy, a machine of war bursts into existence in a place and time it was never meant to be. On a mission of retribution for the destruction of his planet, its half-mad captain seeks the death of every intelligent being, and the annihilation of every civilized world.

Kirk and Spock, two completely different and unyielding personalities, must find a way to lead the only crew, aboard the only ship, that can stop him.

"The wait is over."

Simply amazing

Zachary Quinto is a talented narrator. This is my favorite Star Trek audiobook yet. The ending was pretty cool, considering the motion picture.

Better then the movie.

This was way better then the movie. It truly did live up to its title. The tie-in gave me the thoughts of each person. Very enjoyable and would recommend it to any new star trekkies.

Quinto does a terrific voice over job

Where does Star Trek Movie Tie-In rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the top 3 in my opinion. I am now listening to the Left Behind. Richard Ferrone is also a powerful narrator of character voice overs.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Trek Movie Tie-In?

The added length of each storyline as it unfolded the drama. I really enjoyed the way the author/narrator drew this out to make scenes very memorable.

What about Zachary Quinto’s performance did you like?

Spocks voice was to a

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I wanted to savor it for as long as my patience would allow me.

Any additional comments?

Keep the wonderful audiobooks coming. I'll keep gobbling them up.

Book vs. Movie

If you are a fan of the movie and are looking for more detail this will get you there. Zachary takes us on a journey and not only brings life to his character but also all the other characters too.

Entertaining, but NOT a Tie-In

While this book was well written and entertaining, I was expecting a bit more depth and side plot since it is advertised as a tie-in to the movie. This book is, in fact, THE MOVIE. Aside from a few minor changes, a couple extra details to JTk's life, and a slightly different ending, this is exactly as the movie plays out. The movie is very good, as is this book. I just wish it was not advertised as a tie-in. I gave it 4 stars. It would have been 5 if, like I said, there was more depth than the movie.

loved the movie; love the retelling.

the screenplay was one of test in the star trk franchise. Alan dean foster does it justice.

Star Trek read by Zachary Quinto Great!

I enjoyed listen to the story read by Zachary Quinto was like reviving the role from the from Spock's perspective.

Pretty good!

The story is very well written. Quinto has a great voice, but his performance is not without its flaws. Fortunately most of them, like Chekov's accent, are pretty adorable.
