An epic new Star Trek saga by New York Times bestselling author Greg Cox set during the original Five-Year Mission!

The final frontier erupts into chaos as vast quantities of a rare energy source are discovered beneath the surface of Baldur-3, a remote planet beyond the outer fringes of Federation space. Now an old-fashioned “gold rush” is underway as a flood of would-be prospectors, from countless worlds and species, races toward the planet to stake their claim. The galactic stampede threatens the stability of neighboring planets and space stations, as widespread strife and sabotage and all-around pandemonium result in a desperate need for Starfleet assistance. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise are dispatched to deal with the escalating crisis…which lies on the other side of a famously perilous region of space known as the Antares Maelstrom.

This was not my favorite Star Trek story. I get that it was trying to be "a mission" and not necessarily a Kahn or George and Gracey level installment. I just didn't grab me the way many other Trek novels have. Robert Petkoff was outstanding as always.

It was ok.

Decent story, side stories that still held attention. I did like the nods to DSC. A little long but still entertaining.

Good TOS story

Quite good. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this held my interest. The only thing I didn't like was how aggressive Sulu was. In general Starfleet usually doesn't just plow ahead outside of the law. His decisions were unilateral. Otherwise, it was a good story. The Narrator was excellent.

Just like the old adventures!

The story is classic Star Trek, on a grander scale than a 1960's TV show could afford. These are the characters we know and love, and the narrator does an amazing job bringing their voices to life. Can't wait to listen to more from this author/narrator combination.

Great audiobook!
