I would like to see this audiobook played out by live actors.

Thank you for keeping my mind off some medical problems I have, listening at 4am brilliant story 🙂

Thank you, I really enjoyed this book. It was a delight to hear it read by Sarek. Smiles ❤

I haven't read this book in over 10 years, and oh did I enjoy it. Thanks for this, nice to listen to while I work.

no one cares

Fun fact. This book was published the same month Star Trek Generations was released. There’s no way a book and a movie with Kirk and Picard on the cover coming out at the same time was a coincidence. They threw around a lot of ideas on how to get the TOS and TNG crews together into one movie. It does make you wonder if Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens had any insight into the writing of Generations, and that maybe this book was one of the many rejected ideas to get the two crews together into the same movie. This novel is a far better story than Generations, and despite the fact that it contradicts the events of First Contact its still a great story and one of the best Start Trek novels out there.

It had its flaws (Scott/Chekov instead of Spock/McCoy, poor death for Kirk, etc), but Generations was decent. And if this story had been the first TNG movie, we wouldn’t have had First Contact - one of the BEST!

Yes i read this in 94 loved it.

Mark Lenard, Spock’s Dad. Great voice. Thanks for this!

“It’s as dead as the humpbacked whale.” I see what you did there.

read by Mark Lenard?

Fed up with audio books being read by computers. Somehow a real audio book showed up in my feed.

Love good scifi..much appreciated ❤

I would like to see a Star Trek fan production of FEDERATION.

Great stuff!

This is an abridged version of the novel; while nothing crucial to the plot is lost, a lot of flavor and "support" material is.

I wish they would read the entire book.It takes away from it when they leave parts of it out.Also,there are many they don't have that are worthy,Uhura's Song,The Wounded Sky,My Enemy/My Ally,Prime Directive,just to name a few.If you're going to do these books,aren't they worth doing right and well?

bobby day most of the removal makes sense, the audiobook would be several hours long if they read the complete text, but there are certain important parts they removed that they should have kept.

Ma'am,the book is several hours long.If those missing parts were not an important part of the story being told they would not have been in the book.As a true fan, I've been watching since '66,I want every word of that book read,otherwise,it's a betrayal of the artist who wrote it and the fans who read and loved it.If they can't read them in their entirety,they shouldn't read them at all.

bobby day I'm male. And the poker scene or Picard saying good bye to sarek isn't essential to the main story. The ferengi isn't necessary either, or Cochrane thinking about the advances of the technology since he moved to alpha Centauri. Btw, I'm not disagreeing with you, I do prefer the whole text, I'm just saying it makes why they removed so much stuff

Sorry about the female reference.I understand why they left parts out,but it disappoints my sense of storytelling accuracy.I am the proud owner of every single Star Trek novel or paperback that was ever printed.I bought them all and have read them many hundreds of times and still do.Many books,outside of Star Trek leave parts out and I don't like that either,it's probably just me.

The common practice of abridging audiobooks is, IMHO, lame AF. I mean, the missing end for example: So stupid.

Or you could just listen to it on YT. Type in Star Trek audiobook. There's alot or ST books to listen too. From TOS to TNG to DS9 and Voyager. And about the story about the Rise and Fall or Khan Singh vol 1and 2.

This novel is amazing if you have not read it you need to. It properly describes how Cochrane designed warp drive moving from the original series to next generation and not by some drunk after ww3

Hollywood is very stupid and greedy for rebooting star trek.

Alex Davies thats one small aspect of each story and the only one they share. Otherwise, they're not similar at all.

When the original Enterprise seems to have seen the Enterprise-D, isn’t the musical cue from a movie?

Cardboard villain and technobabble solution, but great fun.

hey thanks for uploading this.... do you have any mirror universe audiobooks.. i found the picard tng one but it was missing 2 parts lol

wow lol. I amreading this book, but it's nice to know it is on audio. I used to love these as a kid. Mark Lenard too? This narration is different than my book though. My hc book starts with Kirk talking like it's his final days.

He reads the time lines sequentially instead of the book chapters as written. This makes more sense.
