About this listen

A thrilling new Star Trek “movie era” novel from New York Times bestselling author Greg Cox!

Three Eras. Three Mysteries. One Ancient Enemy?

2024: Almost forty years ago, marine biologist Gillian Taylor stormed away from her dream job at Sausalito’s Cetacean Institute—and was never seen or heard from again. Now, a new true crime podcast has reopened that cold case, but investigator Melinda Silver has no idea that her search for the truth about Gillian’s disappearance will ultimately stretch across time and space—and attract the attention of a ruthless obsessive with his own secret agenda.

2268: The U.S.S. Enterprise’s five-year mission is interrupted when Captain James T. Kirk and his crew set out to recover an abducted Federation scientist whose classified secrets are being sought by the Klingons as well. The trail leads to a barbaric world off limits to both Starfleet and the Klingon Empire—and an ageless mastermind on a quest for eternity.

2292: The Osori, an ancient alien species, has finally agreed to establish relations with its much younger neighbors: the Federation, the Klingons, and the Romulans. A joint mission involving ships from all three powers, including the Enterprise-A, turns explosive when one of the Osori envoys is apparently killed. Each side blames the others, but the truth lies buried deep, nearly three hundred years in the past…

Great continuation of Star Trek 4

I always wondered what had happened to Gillian Taylor, now my questions have been answered, a great story that is gripping and wanting to finish it every time that I have to stop listening. Robert Petkoff is excellent at reading Star Trek books.

Incredible, all round amazing writing and narrating

Fantastic story, in every way a classic. Read perfectly by the narrator whose characters sounded spot on, very well done.
The story is engaging and expertly put together, it ends perfectly. Having listened to this book I now need to buy a copy to sit and read again, it’s that good!!

utter [expletive]

Please don't waste your time with this modernist Non-Star Trek garbage.
I didn't finish it. Got to chapter 38. Skipped forward and realised it's not for someone who likes Trek. it's a waste of the past 9 odd hours of my life so I'm hoping my scathing review will stop others from listening to this junk.

The writer has not captured Star Trek at any point in it's history (excepting maybe the interminable Discovery or Picard eras).
The TOS crew are all present via stereotypes (except Sulu who was very good).
The Kilngons are described like DS9 Kilngons, not the 60's era or the late 80's versions.
(Maybe they are closer to those in ENT...)
Spock is pure TNG and Scotty...(eye roll).
The story too is a waste of eardrum time.
This is an author I will forever avoid.

The narrator however is pretty darn good. While his feminine voices are...there, the fact he can jump between a large number of characters both new and familiar is seriously impressive. He can use cadence, tone, pace and inflection to perfection faultlessly rendering each character with life.
If you're on the fence about a book and you see he is reading it, then know at least you'll have an amazingly good narrator regardless of the quality of the book itself.

Disappointing

I stuck with this until the end, especially because I love stories set in the movie era.

The problem I have with this book is that the main protagonist is thoroughly unlikeable, and I fail to understand why the antagonist was so fixated on the protagonist in the end.

There was also an interminably long "escape" set piece in the middle that overstayed it's welcome.

Petkoff as always does a fine job, but even he was struggling with some of the characterizations here. No reflection on him at all by the way, he's terrific.

A real shame, I was looking forward to this.
