Star Trek: The Original Series: Vulcan's Forge

By: Josepha Sherman, Susan Shwartz

Narrated by: Leonard Nimoy

An unforgettable adventure starring Captain James T. Kirk and Spock from Star Trek: The Original Series.

Just over a year ago, Captain James T. Kirk was lost to the Nexus while saving the USS Enterprise 1701-B from destruction. Aboard the science ship Intrepid II, Captain Spock, commanding some of his old crewmates, must face the loss of his closest friend. But while still in mourning for one friend, he must come to the aid of another.

Decades ago, Spock had teamed up with David Rabin, the young son of a Starfleet captain, to fight an attempted coup on Vulcan that would have turned the planet’s people away from the path of logic. Now a Starfleet officer, Captain David Rabin has been assigned to a harsh desert world much like Vulcan, where the Federation is determined to protect the lives of the inhabitants. But Rabin’s efforts are being sabotaged and he desperately needs Spock’s help. Spock joins him to face an enemy out of their past and confront deadly Romulan treachery. In the process Spock will decide if the path of his life now leads back toward the family traditions he had once sought to escape.© and (P)1997 Paramount Pictures, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

Star Trek at is literate best

A fabulous continuation of the Star Trek universe. Leonard Nimoy’s narration is magnificent and lends great familiarity and gravitas a truly wonderful story.

Leonard Nimoy

It is a cute story, and I liked it, but the thing I really liked, and the reason I bought it was Leonard Nimoy. I would pay to listen to him read the phone book! I wish that he had done more book narrations while he was alive. I have mostly never been "all broken up" over the death of famous people, but there are three exceptions, for me. David Bowie, Leonard Nimoy, and Neil Armstrong. I really wish all three were still alive. I will miss you for the rest of my life, Mr. Spock!

Total Spock from the Spock perspective

Well written, gripping and engaging. When read by the late Leonard Nimoy, it almost feels like you are in a Federation dining hall hearing Spock retell the tale from memory! (He doesn't do a bad job mimicking the late DeForrest Kelley, either!)

Fun & Engaging!

Nice and escapist. Good to hear Nimoy's voice... Read it out of sequence, but that didn't lessen my enjoyment. Enjoy!

excellent story

Great story. Excellent presentation. Hearing Leonard Nimoy read a story about the character that made him a household name was an excellent experience.
