Summary

An epic new trilogy begins - a tie-in for the milestone 50th anniversary ofStar Trek: The Original Series - that stretches from the earliest voyages of the starship Enterprise to Captain Kirk's historic five-year mission and from one universe to another!

Hidden aboard the USS Enterprise is a secret that has been passed from captain to captain, from Robert April to Christopher Pike to James T. Kirk. Now the return of the enigmatic woman once known as Number One has brought that secret to light, and Kirk and his crew must risk everything to finish a mission that began with April so many years ago.

Nearly two decades earlier, April and his crew first visited the planet Usilde, where they found both tragedy and a thorny moral dilemma. Today the legacy of that fateful occasion will compel Kirk to embark on a risky voyage back to that forbidden world - which is now deep in territory claimed by the Klingon Empire!

Good solid Trekkie fun

If you could sum up Captain to Captain in three words, what would they be?

Traditional, exciting, fun

What did you like best about this story?

This was an enjoyable book that bounced along at a good pace. It ends with a cliff hanger that was unexpected so well done for that. It loses a point for pandering to the gender neutral 'hir' pronoun for half the book which makes it really distracting trying to follow bits of the story.

Good but no Brick.

Enjoyed the story and the performance. Excellent detail. Scott Brick narrating would have nailed it.

Excellent Trek audiobook!! Highly recommended

Really enjoyed this audiobook - author really captured the spirit of Original Star Trek and created a great new story with these familiar characters... what a great way to celebrate Star Trek's 50th birthday! Loved it.

And as far as audiobook performance goes JUST WOW- a great narrator, captures the spirit of all the series actors/characters etc and tells the story in a way that it never gets boring, never sounds dull... even during quieter scenes. Cannot wait for books 2 and 3.... the continuation of the story and with the same narrator!

(And I'm really hoping we can see more new Trek books up in audio.... & preferably with this narrator please!! literally got me to buy extra audible credits on top of my stipend because I couldn't wait!)

Tedious

I don’t normally write bad reviews, but this was hard to get through. Firstly, I didn’t feel that the characters were well realised. None of them seemed quite right.
Then there were the slugs… a dreadful choice for a villain. I advocate humane treatment of real garden pests, but I’d happily have at these bores with a salt shaker. The gender gymnastics were confusing, annoying, and unnecessary… they’re slugs.
It tied quite a chunk of the book up in virtue signalling for no good reason.
The humanoid aliens were more believable, if a little two dimensional.
All this I could forgive, but the major flaw was that we were to believe that Number One didn’t give it a second thought to abandon the inhabitants of the planet to the effects of the alien contamination and skip off clutching the prime directive to her breast, she also had no problem risking that population to the return of those alien slugs to save seven of her mates. Seven for an entire population. So, prime directive is sacrosanct and makes it impossible to assist the locals, but “ach, well, never mind…” when it comes to putting them at risk.
To me, that major hole in the story was the end. I can’t recommend this book, and you’d have two more to wade through before getting to the vicinity of a conclusion. Save yourselves, do not approach Captain to Captain….

Has issues but really liked it

I love the grandeur and feeling of the story which fit into the TOS Era. I feel the writer tried too hard in some places, making too many small references to Original episodes that have nothing to do with the story. One does pay off but the others are neccicary. The Main character is Number One (Una) ,who, even though we only saw her in one episode of the TV show, doesn't feel like her. I like the character, but it didn't feel like the woman we saw. Because so much of the story is from her perspective with Kirk and Co. being a supporting cast don't understand why a male narrator was chosen. He didn't do a bad job but I thought he was inappropriate. Even with these negative issues I enjoyed it and will be getting the rest of the series soon,.
