STAR TREK: PROBE

By: Margaret wander Bonnanno

Narrated by: James Doohan

Ten years have passed since Captain Kirk and the EnterpriseTM crew brought back hump-backed whales from the twentieth century to communicate with the mysterious Probe which threatened Earth. The Probe is returning to Earth and has plotted its course, and the Enterprise must continue to delve into the mystery of its language, and its cosmic purpose to save Earth once again.

Adaptation is the key word here

I actually read the novel Probe years before and remembered enjoying it. James Doohan is someone I heard and enjoyed in audio books before. I missed however the word Adapted which means certain sections of the original novel have been removed. This is very much an abridged novel and it shows in some places.

James Doohan did a good job reading the novel. The voice acting and production qualities are very good. I don't regret my purchase and I think this is a good version of the novel. Overall I do recommend this as a breezy and fun Star Trek novel.

Solid not exciting

Nice to follow up from movie but not really exciting as I’d like it to be.

Feels like Trek

By far one of my favorite titles since I can remember. The story, concidering the challenges this particular title had, feels very classic Trek. James Doohan's performance is one of my favorites. Romulans as the antagonists are always fun. The secondary characters are as important to the overall story as your expected stars. Very enjoyable.

Mr Doohan's voice

The story reads like amateur fan fiction. Overstating the characters' perspectives and reactions as narration rather than making the story express itself.
meh...

Star Trek Probe is an excellent read

I am glad that I read Star Trek. Ever since I saw Star Trek 4 the Voyage Home I always wanted to know more about the Probe. This answered a lot of my questions. I recommend this book to any Star Trek fan.
