A mission to mispronounce

I realize the journey that this book has traveled. Originally in German, translated into English, narrated by someone British, and listen to by an audience in America. However, it is almost comical how many words that the narrator mispronounces. And not mispronounced in a cute British vs American way. Mispronounced words which are part of the common lexicon of Star Trek, that someone somewhere could have instructed him how to pronounce correctly. During the first volume, I was frustrated at the number of words he could not seem to pronounce as they have been pronounced in all previous Star Trek media. But it's at a ridiculous level in this book. Any fan who haa watched a modicum of episodes and movies in the Star Trek franchise could have corrected his pronunciations before they were recorded.

Painful pronunciations.

There are so many odd pronunciations of Klingon words and other wording that it really tarnishes the performance.

Book 3 not in English

Awesome book and great series but the third book is only available in German. once your hooked you won't have an ending

increadable error, startrek vocabulary NOT

clearly a smart naraitor, do not understand how so many terms from all startrek sound tracks can be just plain Wrong.

Too slow for me

Interesting story line and I enjoyed the interweaving of the star trek characters, but the story moved far too slow. I will not purchase anymore books in this series.

Awaiting the third installment!

Very discouraged that the third installment isn’t ready yet but excited to hear it when ready!!!

Love it

The book is amazing I can’t wait for the third book to be released in English

Performance sucked

I found the performance of this whole series was a total disaster. The reader could not even pronounce half of the words correctly. I loved the story, but it needed someone who is familiar with the Star Trek Universe to perform the book.

Second better than first

It seems they learned from the first book and kept the story more on point so there was less disconnection in the storyline. I'm hoping the third will be as good or better.

very suspenseful

Love it
Klingon Captain Cron cracks me up
ready for the next chapter
Narrator did a excellent job

Yet again this reader has mispronounce Star Trek words

This was a very good book but the mispronunciations of well known Star Trek words annoyed me. Words such as Kahless, Khitoma accords, Betazoid and now Raktajino . He pronounced Raktajino as “Rakta ino” but it should be pronounced as rack-ta-keen-oh”. Apart from the reader pronunciation I enjoyed this book very much and can’t wait to listen to the next book

Great 2nd book

Another great book in the series. If you love Star Trek then this book is well worth a try.

good story

Prometheus is a good standalone storyline with links to startreks past listen in order to understand all links 😊

Thoroughly enjoyable

This would be great as a Limited Series or even regular TV show. The story weaves names of well known Trek characters with new names, places and ships expertly.

My only small niggle is the Narrators mispronounciation of well known Trek names and phrases that I know grate on the nerves of my fellow Trek Nerds.

I enjoyed.

Good but not as good as the first

First of all I'd like to confirm I indeed enjoyed this book but as for content on the first one it felt a little lacking but still full of plenty of star trek references and I believe that it's building up towards a big finale

Great continuation

Never listened or read any of the star trek novels before and throughly enjoying the Prometheus story.
The only downside to the books is the narrator.
You'd think if you were going to narrate a Star Trek novel you would know how to pronounce some of the names/word etc it takes its away from the performance at times.
