Restored my faith in Star Trek
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.

Very good
If you’re interested in the story of how Kirk earned his captaincy of the Enterprise this is for you.

The early years of Captain Kirk
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

A blast from the past
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.

Not the greatest, okay for fans
Although I don't hit the conventions and the like, I pretty much get any Star Trek book that comes out on Audible. Sometimes bringing a new angle to some characters that have been around a while can be a challenge, but there's obviously a market for these.
Its a recognised style, which | first ran into with Katherine Kerr's Deverry series to provide a breadth and depth to things by describing different periods of time, switching from one to another. It can be great when its well done but as a mechanism it can have its pitfalls as well.
In this you'll find a depiction of James T Kirk in his early career across a few different time zones as he develops as a captain. Its all well put together and for fans it can be seen as informative or interesting detail that fills out the character. It hands together well enough as that.
But I would say it doesn't really engage as an adventure or an overall story, as any sort of 'edge of the seat' entertainment. While its interesting to know the back story of some characters, it is largely back story and not enough story.
So nothing horrible but nothing to write home about either.
