À propos de cet audio

 The spectacular conclusion to the thrilling double-sized adventure!
Like an unstoppable cosmic storm, the dreaded Genesis Wave continues to sweep across the Alpha Quadrant, transforming entire planets on a molecular level and threatening entire civilizations with extinction. Based on the long-hidden scientific secrets of Dr. Carol Marcus, who has mysteriously disappeared, the wave of mutagenic protomatter seems to have come from nowhere, posing a cataclysmic menace to life as we know it.
To combat the rushing terror of the wave, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise have been forced into an uneasy alliance with both the Klingons and the Romulan Empire, both of whom may crave the forbidden secrets of the Genesis technology for themselves. The finest engineers of three civilizations, including Geordi La Forge and his long-lost love, Dr. Leah Brahms, must race against time to devise some way of halting the deadly wave before yet another world is transformed into something entirely alien and unrecognizable.
But even if, against all odds, the Genesis Wave can be defeated, Picard and his potentially treacherous allies must still confront the greater mystery of what unknown intelligence dared to launch the wave against an unsuspecting galaxy -- and for what malevolent purpose....© and (P)2001 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

..but save the Credit. This is a strikingly weak second part of an obviously planned Duology extended somehow into four books. The action sequences are well-paced, but throughout the book character motivations are absent, there are enormous plot holes, and dialogue is often straight-up cheesy. It is, in fact, amazing that the author of the first book wrote this mess. Additionally, several plotlines feel like they were added "post-production"..not really fitting into the story arc (which is effectively resolved by the end of this book). Thus, a fairly insulting obvious money grab is added to a haphazard, lazy effort. I wonder if the paper copy of this John Vornholt book does a better job of making the "new" threads fit than in this underwhelming adaptation.. although I somehow doubt it.

Tim Russ's performance is professional (his Picard is excellent, for example), but he reads in a monotone and way too quickly (I had to slow the playback speed to 0.90X to make it tolerable).
Simon & Schuster Audio compounds the offense with too-aggressive sound effects and music. They overwhelm the text in this one.

If you have a couple of hours and nothing better to do (or are a Diehard Star Trek fan), this audiobook is possibly a reasonable investment. Furthermore, if you read the first book, this one provides some satisfying conclusions to the main plotline. You would certainly be forgiven for continuing on in the series - the TNG crew are well-loved for a reason and worth any effort to know them better - but I will be stopping after this 2.5/10 effort.
(Note: These are entertaining recordings - I didn't hate them - but Books 3+4 are pretty obviously superfluous and the relatively poor writing and low production quality doesn't bode well)

Adequately Entertaining.. I Guess
