Summary

The time: six months prior to the launch of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-B and the tragic loss of Captain James T. Kirk in deep space. The place: Earth, where the galaxy's most renowned hero must face the spectre of retirement. But Kirk's path takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious woman offers him an irresistible adventure - a voyage to an uncharted planet where he will confront the ultimate threat to the peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, and the ultimate temptation - a chance to recapture his youth.

Captain James T Shatner

I often wonder listening to Shatner Star Trek stories if the man has not entirely forgotten that Kirk is a work of fiction? This is a good story though, with all the old favorites and no great knowledge of Star Trekkiverse needed. Enjoyed listening to it. You imagination soon takes over and fills in the images. Shatner is a good writer of this stuff to give him his due.

Good fun with demigod Kirk and the old crew

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

Yes. The story itself is a lot of fun, Shatner gives an excellent (and typically theatrical) performance, and I thought that all the music/sound effects worked great in creating a very "Star Trek" experience. It can get a bit ridiculous how Shatner writes Kirk to be this borderline psychic genius, able to pilot a starship on his own, beat up Klingons and bed any woman he wants when he's supposed to be 60+ years old, but I thought that just added to the fun.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Chekov, because of Shatner's hilariously terrible impersonation of Walter Koenig.

Have you listened to any of William Shatner’s other performances? How does this one compare?

It falls somewhere between 'How Insensitive' and 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds'.

Any additional comments?

I'm sure there are some aspects of the book that would make die-hard Trekkies' heads explode, but I would suggest that you just go along for the ride and enjoy the story. Also, oddly enough, the story did at times remind me of the plot for Insurrection, even though I think the book was published a couple of years before the film was released.

Some journeys never end

The book/audiobook prologue starts where Star Trek Generations left off, recalling Spock's last adventure with Captain Kirk. It's hard to discuss the story without ruining the plot but it is safe to say this feel like an episode of the Original Series (TOS) and is an enjoyable read/listen. You are urged to boldly go and read or listen for yourselves. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

Should be a trek film.

I read this book when it first came out and couldn't put it down 22 years later I listened to this version.

Shatner did a great job reading this and captures really characters essence, particularly Scotty and Spock.

This book series starting with this 1st book in the series would have made great star trek films

Great!

Great stuff from Shatner, but the story itself, sums up Kirk, in both his weaknesses and his strengths. Worth a listen!
