About this listen

Just after the events of Star Trek Generations, on the planet Veridian III, ambassador Spock comes to the humble cairn, or stones, that marks the grave of James Kirk. But he is not granted time to ponder the passing of his best friend. The Borg and the Romulan Empire have a use for Kirk, and with some mysterious alien science they resurrect the fallen captain, who they hope will give them the edge they need to destroy their greatest enemy, Jean-Luc Picard. It will take the combined powers of both generations, from Spock and McCoy to Data and Riker, to meet this almost unthinkable new threat.© and (P)1996 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It's great to see William Shatner's contribution to the Star Trek mythos.It's a great 3hr
story featuring Kirk, Picard and Spock. it's thrilling to listen to and follow.

What other book might you compare Star Trek: The Return (Adapted) to, and why?

Ashes of Eden although I haven't listened to it at time of writing this review.

What does William Shatner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The characters come to life and Shatner brings enthusiasm to the story associated with him playing the part of James T Kirk. The whole story is covered with his passion and dedication to the genre.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes unfortunately I had to listen in two parts as there wasn't time.

Any additional comments?

A great story and well worth the price paid.

A welcome inclusion of Kirk into Stat Trek
