About this listen
An original novel based upon the explosive new Star Trek TV series on CBS All Access!
It is 2246, 10 years prior to the Battle at the Binary Stars, and an aggressive contagion is ravaging the food supplies of the remote Federation colony Tarsus IV and the 8,000 people who call it home. Distress signals have been sent, but any meaningful assistance is weeks away. Lieutenant Commander Gabriel Lorca and a small team assigned to a Starfleet monitoring outpost are caught up in the escalating crisis, and bear witness as the colony's governor, Adrian Kodos, employs an unimaginable solution in order to prevent mass starvation.
While awaiting transfer to her next assignment, Commander Philippa Georgiou is tasked with leading to Tarsus IV a small, hastily assembled group of first responders. It's hoped this advance party can help stabilize the situation until more aid arrives, but Georgiou and her team discover that they're too late - Governor Kodos has already implemented his heinous strategy for extending the colony's besieged food stores and safeguarding the community's long-term survival.
In the midst of their rescue mission, Georgiou and Lorca must now hunt for the architect of this horrific tragedy and the man whom history will one day brand "Kodos the Executioner"....

A good book to flesh out this event however I just felt it missed the mark. It was trying to be dramatic without the drama. Which all happens in the first few chapters and could not peak again.
Still a good book.
Not as captivating as it felt it should be

Not great but not bad.
Average story line.

One liner 'dialogue' lines are frequent, which I find irritating and superfluous, more showing technique could be better employed. Also, people 'sigh' rather a lot!
The narrator sometimes makes it difficult to tell the characters' inner voices from the story narrative, but he does have quite a good way of varying the characters and can be quite engaging. Other times I get the feeling he was just reading outloud and sometimes was totally disengaged. Overall, not bad. But I would prefer more energy from a narrator. I like January LaVoy as a narrator, in the Voyager series btw.
Cumbersome and a bit clunky, but a good story

It also felt like it had been written by a vulcan auditor it was so ponderous!
I’m sure some people will love it so take no notice of my review but I would say this, if you are bored after 3 hours, consider moving on to something else, it doesn’t get much more interesting and the Epilogue doesn’t change that in my opinion.
I won’t get those 11 hours back!
