Publisher's summary

They call it Kirk's World, a once vibrant planet reduced to a post-nuclear horrorscape because of James Kirk's failure to obey the Federation's most important law: The Prime Directive. But was Kirk really responsible for the destruction of the planet Talin, or was some other, far more sinister force at work? While a bearded, exiled Kirk struggles to regain the command of his ship, his former crew membrs are banding together to fight for their honor and their careers. The future of the Enterprise is at stake - and the truth of Talin's Armageddon is far more frightening than anyone can imagine.

Big Star Trek story, not well condensed

I read this story many years ago, and liked the character development, rich story line, and intricate plot. Well, it didn't translate into a 90 min script, and just lumped together a bunch of unlikely alien features that made an unremarkable story. The narration was great, though, Scotty (Doohan?).

lots of gaps

Moved to quickly and didn't develop the storyline. Had me asking for more detail and had me hanging.

Bad spot

Recording had a bad spot near the start of Part 4. Otherwise it was good. I always like Doohan's narrations.

Without James Doohan this book would fail flat!

James Doohan made this great! This was my 3rd time reading it. The alien was - poor.

The Prime Directive.

I get these when I have a coupon or everything is on sale. That being said these stories are great. James Doohan pulls you in. It’s like listening to an older episode. I have to admit I’ve never read the unabridged. That being said, this is definitely worth the price of a movie.
