Book Description
"Are you willing to settle for an ordinary life? Or do you think you were meant for something better? Something special?"
One grew up in the cornfields of Iowa, fighting for his independence, for a way out of a life that promised only indifference, aimlessness and obscurity.
"You will forever be a child of two worlds, capable of choosing your own destiny. The only question you face is, which path will you chose?"
The other grew up on the jagged cliffs of the harsh Vulcan desert, fighting for acceptance, for a way to reconcile the logic he was taught with the emotions he felt.
In the far reaches of the galaxy, a machine of war bursts into existence in a place and time it was never meant to be. On a mission of retribution for the destruction of his planet, its half-mad captain seeks the death of every intelligent being, and the annihilation of every civilized world.
Kirk and Spock, two completely different and unyielding personalities must find a way to lead the only crew, aboard the only ship, that can stop him.
"The wait is over."

After watching the movie several times, I was REALLY looking forward to reading this book that is a tie-in with the movie! Boy, was I REALLY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!
The more I read this book, the more I questioned if Alan Dean Foster EVEN READ THE SAME SCRIPT that was written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman! It also became obvious that Foster DOES NOT KNOW HIS STAR TREK!!!!!!! He has Sarek, Spock's father, behaving like a HUMAN instead of someone born and raised on Vulcan! He has Younger ... Read More

Alan Dean Foster is the go-to author for movie tie-in novels. He was tapped for the novelization of the new Star Trek movie.
If you were looking for a book that would fill you in on all the details that might have been missed in the film, Star Trek is not the story for you.
For whatever reason, Foster took the script and did not deviate one iota. What you saw in the movie, you get in the book.
There isn't any additional back story for any of the characters, you don't ... Read More

Skip the book and wait for the DVD. The movie rocked, but the book mangles some of the better dialogue for no discernible reason, plus the author is wrong about certain details that grated on me. Uhura's boots are not her personal fashion sense, they are part of her uniform. McCoy is from Georgia, not Kentucky. Do your homework, dude.

The rebirth of Star Trek has been long anticipated by fans, and the latest movie is not a sorrowful let down. The movie is awesome and keeps the action and suspension moving through out. It also delves into the backgrounds of Kirk and Spock's upbringing; which reveals much about their characters and who they are and who they become. The story veers from the original Gene Rodenberry version by the fact that at the very begging of the story a future Romulan by the name of Nero arrives in federation space ... Read More

This audio book is the next best thing to seeing the movie!! Chomping at the bit for the DVD to come out? This will give you a more than satisfying "fix" meanwhile.
Quinto has an amazing ear for different voices and can read a scene with 4 speakers in a way that you know exactly who is speaking. I can almost see the movie as I listen to this. OK, admittedly I've seen the movie many times. Even so his voice makes it come alive. Some of Foster's sentences are so convoluted that they were obviously ... Read More
