Star Trek: Avenger

By: William Shatner

Narrated by: William Shatner

Although Kirk appeared to perish at the conclusion of Star Trek® Generations , the big national bestseller, The Return, revealed the amazing story of Kirk's resurrection. Now, William Shatner brings his distinctive blend of talents as an actor, writer, director, and producer to continue the saga of Jim Kirk's second life -- and to reunite one of the greatest teams of any future century...START TREK: AVENGER.

A lethal virogen, inimical to all conventional forms of planet life, threatens the entire Federation with starvation and dissolution. In this moment of Starfleet's greatest need, Captain James T. Kirk, long believed dead, embarks on a desperate quest to find the true source of the mysterious virogen.

Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ambassador Spock, his diplomatic efforts stalled by the spread of famine and chaos, returns to his native world of vulcan to confront a mystery of a deeply personal nature -- an investigation that soon leads him to a reunion with a long-lost friend he never expected to see again. Kirk and Spock, together again, must join forces to save a new generation from an awesome menace unleashed by a ruthless interplanetary conspiracy.

Full of high adventure and powerful drama, STAR TREK: AVENGER is an engrossing new Star Trek epic -- and a moving tale of past memories and new hope that only WIlliam Shatner could tell.© and (P)1997 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

I always believe these three books to be a great place is for a movie

Who’s captivating as I did my commute each day listening to the updates and reliving those years as a youth want to watch James T Kirk come out the enterprise back in the 60s and I am again controlled to hear him tell the story of this saga

Shatner is the man

Hey Paramount make these movies they're brilliant you don't need to reinvent the wheel the wheel is here loved these stories Is great story art for the characters

Entertaining

When I first read The Return, I thought it was cute that Shatner brought his character back to life and allowed Kirk to interact with ST's current stars. Sure, it's campy as all get out, but it's fun.

One criticism is that I think Shatner tries to hard to drop the name of every major ST character there is. One would think that Starfleet only had 10 officers capable of working together and sends them everywhere.

Fun to listen to at work though. It makes pouring over spreadsheets less painful.

Another Great Star Trek Novel

This was a well written book by William Shatner.

I must admit that it was hard listening to it at work.

Not as good as the book

This was probably the best of the Shatner-verse books.

Unfortunately you'll enjoy reading the book more. Shatner's performance is fine, the production is fine but this has been adapted and as such, is missing parts from the book itself.

Still enjoyable, but the actual book fills in the bla KS way better IMO.
