About this listen

 An all-new Star Trek adventure set during The Original Series era and featuring James T. Kirk!

The saga of James T. Kirk’s historic command of the U.S.S. Enterprise is known throughout the galaxy. But one part of the legend has barely been touched upon until now: the story of Kirk’s first starship command and the remarkable achievements by which Starfleet’s youngest captain earned the right to succeed Christopher Pike as the commander of the famous Enterprise. From his early battles with the Klingons to the rescue of endangered civilizations, Kirk grapples with difficult questions: Is he a warrior or a peacemaker? Should he obey regulations or trust his instincts? This thrilling novel illustrates the events and choices that would shape James T. Kirk into one of the most renowned captains in Starfleet history.

I enjoyed this book, great story and great characters, I especially enjoyed hearing about the other commands of Kirk and how different he was before he captained the enterprise. The mistake he made in his early commands and how he dealt with his first losses of life. This is a very good book and I would recommended it to any Si-Fi fans

I absolutely over this book. To paraphrase Chancellor Azetbur in Star Trek VI - "Christopher Bennett, you have restored my faith in Star Trek."

Refusing to entangle itself in the post-Berman era of modern Trek this is an unashamed revisiting of the early career of James T. Kirk and is filled with fascinating new (and old!) characters and exciting stories. This is Star Trek as it should be. I can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Christopher L. Bennett. LLAP.

It's just like stepping back in time to the 60's having new stories of the original Enterprise is a wonderful nostalgia trip, well written good storyline, a must for the Star Trek fan.
