Yesterday's Son

By: A.C. Crispin

Narrated by: Leonard Nimoy

An unputdownable Star Trek adventure following Spock as he must face the Romulans before they destroy the Guardian of Forever.

The Romulans attack the planet Gateway, where Federation scientists are studying the Guardian of Forever—the mysterious portal to the past. Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise must protect the Guardian or destroy it. But Spock has already used the portal to journey to the past. On the planet Sarpedion, 5,000 years ago, Spock knew a beautiful, primitive woman. Now he has gone back to meet his son at the risk of being lost to time forever.© and (P)1988 Paramount Pictures Corporation, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Great follow up to TOS S3 All Out Yesterdays

I chose this audio book after watching for the first time ever last night on Me TV and learned there was a book sequel to it. I thought 1 credit for 90 minutes was high. But I was shocked to hear Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan did voice work for this book making it totally worth it for me.

If I could quibble about the story, the actions of McCoy in it just never felt like Deforest Kelley himself was ever performing in the scene. I found myself thinking McCoy would never do that in certain parts.

This 90 minute story was great for a commute to a friend's farm and back to my home . I'm glad Audible still makes it available and encourage all Star Trek fans to try it.

Loved it!

as always Crispin delivered. She left too soon. looking forward to reading the rest of her catalog.

Great Spock story.

What did you love best about Star Trek?

I love star trek and Spock is my favorite character. This book is part one based on an episode from the original series. Spock discovered that what happened in the past had consequences and he got something he didn't know he wanted.

What other book might you compare Star Trek to and why?

There is no other book I can compare Star Trek to unless it is one of the spin-offs of the original series.

What about Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan ’s performance did you like?

The way they passhanley read the story

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Spock told Zar that he was proud of him.

Any additional comments?

This book and the next one is a must for the Star Trek fan.

Great Story

What did you love best about Star Trek?

I loved how they continued a story from one of the better episodes in the original series.

Which character – as performed by Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan – was your favorite?

I love to listen to Leonard Nimoy. He had the coolest voice.

about what I expected

I enjoyed hearing James Doohan and Leonard Nimoy perform this quasi audio drama. The story was only so-so. I guess my biggest problem is that so many of these canon adjacent stories are just kind of weak. Since nothing permanent is ever allowed to happen to any of the main characters, nothing of consequence ever actually happens. It leaves the story toothless. Additionally, the imitation Star Trek synthesizer score is just plain painful to listen to. It's affordable comfort food, but don't have high expectations for character development or plot.
