A sci-fi adventure that includes a tale of vengeance one-hundred years
in the making, Star Trek Prey: Hell’s
Heart is an epic original tale that includes many favorite Star Trek
characters.
Klingon Commander Kruge’s death after his battle with Captain James T.
Kirk on the Genesis planet started a power struggle amongst his many heirs in
the Klingon Empire. The heirs of his
family fought against his loyal commanders who were overcome in battle. Korgh, his young almost adopted heir and
military colleague, saw his chance for power ripped away when he is unable to
gain access to the Phantom Wing, a squadron of very advanced Birds of Prey with
the power to fire while clocked that he had worked on himself.
One hundred years later, the USS Enterprise with Captain Jean-Luc
Picard is escorting the heirs of Kruge to a celebration of their final
battle. Along the way, First Officer
Worf discovers that the “battle” may not have been all that it seems to be
100-years ago. The celebration finds
itself a battle field with Worf kidnapped as a result. Who is behind the kidnapping and
slaughter? Will Worf be able to return
to the Enterprise?
Robert Petkoff is a top notch narrator for this audiobook. His voices were perfect for the characters –
he really sounded like Worf! He also did
a good British accent for Captain Picard.
This was a great story to listen to via audiobook. As a lifelong fan of Star Trek, I thought
this story was a riveting addition to the Star Trek cannon. I also realized my mind added in music and
sound effects – is that weird?
The story was very engaging as Miller captured the characters perfectly
while also having a lot of great action and elements of surprise. This makes for a perfect audiobook to keep
one entertained on your daily commute. I
was crushed when it ended as I wanted to know more! Luckily, I am listening to Book #2 now.
Overall Star Trek Prey: Hell’s
Heart (Book 1) is an enthralling adventure story that perfectly captures the
Star Trek world and characters. Petkoff
is a fantastic narrator that is a great character voice actor. I highly recommend this audiobook!
Laura, this sounds like a terrific audio book. Enjoy Book #2! Excellent review, as always.
