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!

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.

More of the Same: Everything Saved by the Narrator
This book continues the same problems in The Return. Huge issues are brought up and solved with a single sentence. How Kirk got from the Borg Home World to here, now, is all explained away with I think three sentences. The whole Federation is "dying" because of a single virus, but the problems of the Federation that make is so fragile are never examined. It is just stated "dying."
Painting the ST universe with such wide brush strokes is hard to take in after getting such great detail and character development over the years from writers like Diane Duane.

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.

Superb dramatization
The story was well written and fast paced. William Shatner provides a superb dramatic reading. I am now hooked on these books.

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.

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

Really good, even though the plot was confusing
I don't know what it is about this one. Shatner certainly knocked this one out of the park in terms of delivery. The plot... wasn't bad per se, just confusing. I didn't know what was going on at several points, but I simultaneously found it fun and exciting. Definitely worth 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.
