About this listen

 An epic new Star Trek saga by New York Times bestselling author Greg Cox set during the original five-year mission!

The planet Vok is holding its first free elections after years of oppressive military rule. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise have been dispatched by Starfleet to serve as impartial observers, but remaining neutral proves a challenge, as Kirk confronts a tangled web of scandal, conspiracy, and assassination plots—with the stability of an entire sector at stake.

To make matters worse, Dr. Leonard McCoy has vanished while on a mission of mercy to Braco, a nearby planet only a system away. With Kirk unable to abandon his vital mission on Vok to hunt for his friend, it’s up to First Officer Spock and Christine Chapel to lead a team in search of the missing doctor, even if it means risking whatever fate befell McCoy.

Unknown to his friends and crewmates, however, McCoy has been spirited away to another world, Ozalor, where he’s expected to find a cure for a mysterious ailment plaguing a member of the planet’s ruling family. Torn between his Hippocratic oath and his desire to escape, McCoy finds himself at the center of deadly palace intrigues—and a struggle for power that may ultimately consume all three worlds!

This is a great story taking place on three worlds in three different star systems. There are great characters well performed by narrator. It is a book well worth listening to

Great story with three times the intrigue

The story was moderately interesting. It was fairly dramatic but overall it was not too exciting but was an adequate story. The performance was brilliant as it always is with Robert Petkoff as the narrator. He read out the story clearly and succinctly. He gave life to the characters in their accents and speech. The performance is the only outstanding feature of this audiobook as overall the story was OK but not overwhelmingly unique or remarkable. It was an alright purchase.

An alright and adequate Star Trek capet

solid story. well split between the three teams beach story I tried enough to keep one's attention and leave one wanting more when the next segment took over, only to be forgotten as the current segment was equally strong.
well worth a credit. (a lifelong TOS fan).

Enjoyable listen. faithful too

Kirk takes a back seat again ..an writers dont seem to understand kirk an TOS this was the era of the wild west of star trek an the federation was not this huge power it is by TNG an DS9 ..i also dont understand why writers keep trying to make Kirk like jean luc picard ..this story fits TNG but is poorly suited to Kirk an the Enterprise .so Overall Not a bad star trek story but with too much filler an in no way shape or form a TOS star trek ..IF you want a story of kirk an co look for shanters books

not TOS
