Toward the Night

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

By: James Swallow

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

A thrilling new novel based on the Paramount+ TV series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!

While patrolling the borders of the Klingon Empire, Captain Christopher Pike and the crew of the USS Enterprise record a series of subspace echoes from a planet orbiting a volatile flare star—and when Lieutenant Spock and Commander Una Chin-Riley lead a landing party to learn more, they discover the ruins of a dead civilization and evidence of starship-grade metals…quite possibly a crash site.

As they continue to investigate the strange signals, Spock and Una find shocking signs of dangerous alien life and remnants of what can only be Federation hardware. The trail soon leads Pike and Enterprise’s helmswoman Lieutenant Erica Ortegas deep into the mystery of a lost Starfleet vessel, missing in action for over ninety years—and to a terrible dilemma that will challenge the crew to question their past...and their future.

Bugs and Bears

I enjoyed another of Petkoff's Star Trek narrations. The occasional time warp storyline is fun, but I usually prefer the stories set in one time line. Overall 5 stars and highly recommended.

Another lovely book adventure for SNW

Fun adventure with great writing and a very fun ending with a nice wink at the very end.

A great way to enjoy one of my favorite settings

This book was a good performance and story in the Star Trek universe. The author and narrator do a great job in making the characters feel like the ones seen on SNW

Great story, amazing narration!

This is a solid Star Trek story based on the characters of the Strange New Worlds tv series. I loved the narration and the storyline.

A perfect Star Trek story!

This story had everything you'd expect from a Star Trek story. Action, adventure, a personal journey for the crew, strange new aliens and threats along with more classic adversaries.

The narration is great as well. The voices and accents he gives to each character make them all unique and easy to differentiate between.

I especially LOVED the epilog! It really wrapped up the story perfectly!

I cannot recommend this audio book enough!

Great characters

Well done change nothing be brave be new and fresh. More please. Al flavors of trek welcome

Voice performance

Neat little time travel story. I enjoyed getting more of an Ortegas focused story and their background. Nice cameos at the end.
