Vulcan's Heart

By: Josepha Sherman, Susan Shwartz

Narrated by: Tim Russ

2329: Now a diplomat for the United Federation of Planets, Spock agrees to a bonding with Commander Saavik. More than a betrothal, less than a wedding, the sacred Vulcan rite is attended by both Spock's father, Sarek, and a nervous young Starfleet lieutenant named Jean-Luc Picard.
2344: Ambassador Spock receives a top-secret communication from the heart of the Romulan Empire. Decades before, Spock had met and betrayed an honorable Romulan commander during the so-called "Enterprise incident." Now she needs his help to prevent a catastrophe that could threaten the peace of the entire quadrant. Spock risks everything by traveling incognito to Romulus itself, but his covert mission becomes even more perilous when Saavik crosses the Neutral Zone to rescue him.
Enmeshed in the treacherous political intrigues of the Romulan capital, undone by a fire that grows ever hotter within his blood, Spock must use all his logic and experience to survive a crisis that will ultimately determine the fate of empires. Vulcan's Heart is a powerful tale that explores an untold turning point in the ongoing saga of Spock and the world of Vulcan.© and (P)1999 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Critic reviews

Leonard Nimoy on Vulcan's Forge A dramatic tale, one that answers long-standing questions about Spock's life choices. Fascinating!

The vulcan heart is a good read! Though the audio is better!

As a star trek fan I throughly enjoyed this. The flow was great, with highs and lows. The reading was steady and very clear. The voices changes to indicate different characters wasn't overdone nor silly when a female character needed to be portrayed. Action was done just right to keep one interested, without focusing too much on it. The same could be said for the sneaking the characters needed to do. They picked a great voice actor and hearing tuvok reading a book about star trek was very amusing.

Highly entertaining fabulous narration

Tim Russ (Voyager's Tuvok) does an incredible job brings the story to a new level. Unfortunately this is abridged but still worth it! One of the better of the abridged Trek on audible. Im looking forward to other books by the authors and hopefully Tim Russ is brought back for future Trek Audible books

I love this story

I love this story I wish they would turn that into a movie even if it aint Cannon it would still good enough to be a movie

Not bad at all.

The story was well written and I enjoyed learn about Spock and how he interacted with the Romulans. I would have liked the book to have been longer, but it was a good read. The narration was very well done.

A Great Stat Trek Novel

This is a great story that shows the events before Captain Picard's Command of the Enterprise-D and about Spoke's betrothal to Commander Savik.
