Publisher's summary

After the end of the Enterprise™'s five-year mission, Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy struggle to establish new lives apart from one another and the starship. The newly promoted Admiral Kirk is placed in charge of a specially created Starfleet division and attempts to defuse a critical hostage situation; Mr. Spock, who, in the midst of a teaching assignment on Vulcan, finds the one thing he least expected; and Dr. McCoy, whose unerring instinct for trouble lands him smack in the middle of an incident that could trigger an interstellar bloodbath.

Adapted Means Abridged

I read this book a few decades ago. I remember the book having much more content that would appease most Trekkies. I enjoyed the late James Doohan’s narration, but there was a bit of bait and switch on the description saying that Leonard Nimoy narrates. I did listen to the sample, but hoped it wasn’t a direct sampling, but that was my fault so treat this as cautionary. Overall the abridged story was not as pleasing to me, and the music could have been more abridged. I don’t regret the experience, but it just wasn’t as good as I hoped.

Really a 30sec musical transition between everythg

The story was okay. It's a pretty rough start, by chapter 4 it was okay. If you have not been driven nuts by the 30 sec musical transitions between scenes. Have they never seen a movie with music in the background.

Kind of short and not the best ending.

Unexpected

I think this is the story prior to one of the Star Trek movies. I didn't expect that it will sustain my interest up to the end of the story. The plot is simple, but interesting.

I want to listen to more Star Trek books by Dillard. I also like Nimoy and Doohan's narrations.
