Publisher's summary

A lethal virogen, inimical to all conventional forms of plant life, threatens the entire Federation with starvation and dissolution. In this moment of Starfleet's greatest need, Captain James T. Kirk, long believed dead, embarks on a desperate quest to find the true source of the mysterious virogen. Elsewhere in the galaxy, Ambassador Spock, his diplomatic efforts stalled by the spread of famine and chaos, returns to his native world of Vulcan to confront a mystery of a deeply personal nature - an investigation that soon leads him to a reunion with a long-lost friend he never expected to see again. Kirk and Spock, together again, must join forces to save a new generation from an awesome menace unleashed by a ruthless interplanetary conspiracy.

The riveting sequel to the New York Times best seller The Return!

I always believe these three books to be a great place is for a movie

Who’s captivating as I did my commute each day listening to the updates and reliving those years as a youth want to watch James T Kirk come out the enterprise back in the 60s and I am again controlled to hear him tell the story of this saga

Not as good as the book

This was probably the best of the Shatner-verse books.

Unfortunately you'll enjoy reading the book more. Shatner's performance is fine, the production is fine but this has been adapted and as such, is missing parts from the book itself.

Still enjoyable, but the actual book fills in the bla KS way better IMO.

Entertaining

When I first read The Return, I thought it was cute that Shatner brought his character back to life and allowed Kirk to interact with ST's current stars. Sure, it's campy as all get out, but it's fun.

One criticism is that I think Shatner tries to hard to drop the name of every major ST character there is. One would think that Starfleet only had 10 officers capable of working together and sends them everywhere.

Fun to listen to at work though. It makes pouring over spreadsheets less painful.

Another Great Star Trek Novel

This was a well written book by William Shatner.

I must admit that it was hard listening to it at work.

Good reading by Shatner. Story decent.

It was nice seeing Kirk back to himself after previous book, but felt a bit rushed to me. Unabridged would have been nice, but I liked the added sound effects and music. Overall if you like Shatner and Kirk, you'll enjoy it.

perhaps published hastily?

neither plot nor narration was as pleasing as its prequel, "the return. " I found parts to be rather forced, maybe even slightly out of character.

What the heck?

Ok I have a few beefs.

1. Who the heck is "Rolk" and why does he sound like Worf?
2. What's with Dr. McDonald why is she called McDonald here, and McCoy in the next one. In print this was not the case...She is a descendant of Dr. McCoy that's why she is called "Bones".
3. It's not pronounced Peecard...

he should have known better. Other than that I like this book, but normally would not have bought it because it is abridged.
