More Beautiful Than Death

De: David Mack

Narrado por: Robert Petkoff

An original novel based on the thrilling new Star Trek movies!

Based on the “Kelvin Universe” movie saga!

Captain James T. Kirk and the Enterprise crew escort Spock’s father, Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan, to a dilithium-rich planet called Akiron. They arrive to find this world under siege by creatures that some of the planet’s denizens believe are demons. Sarek orders Kirk to abandon the mission, but the young captain won’t turn his back on people in danger. After a harrowing encounter with the dark-energy “demons,” Kirk’s belief in a rational universe is challenged by a mystic who insists that it wasn’t coincidence that brought Kirk to Akiron, but the alien equivalent of a Karmic debt.

Meanwhile, aboard the Enterprise, Sarek’s young Vulcan aide L’Nel has a sinister agenda—and its chief objective appears to be the cold-blooded murder of Spock!

Very fun adventure with the movie crew

Appreciated all the nods to TOS and carried everything from the movie very well, felt just familiar enough as other books but different to feel fresh and new.

one of the best trek books out there!

Now this is how you write for the Kelvin timeline!!! This is the second original book and it feels like the newer movies. The Unsettling Stars was a good book but it was hardly what you would expect in the Kelvin timeline. This book is action packed and makes great use of Star Trek lore and give it a nice twist with this being in an alternative timeline. It was truly fantastic!

Outstanding performance

Robert Petkoff is an outstanding narrator.
David Mack is an amazing author. This book takes place in the Kelvin timeline.

outstanding

Awesome! like a movie in my mind. I enjoyed the continuity and respect given to the bridge crew, as well as the weave of universes.

I enjoyed this very much,

This was very enjoyable and reminded me of old episodes and while listening I could see all the character in my mind. Robert Petkoff did a great job .
I can't tell if there are more books following this timeline and I don't see this is book #1 or 2 or anything so I guess this is a one off writing, I will look for more from David Mack and Robert Petkoff.
