The Higher Frontier

By: Christopher L. Bennett

An all-new Star Trek movie-era adventure featuring James T. Kirk!

Enterprise confront a terrifying new threat: faceless, armored hunters whose extradimensional technology makes them seemingly unstoppable. Kirk must team with the powerful telepath Miranda Jones and the enigmatic Medusans to take on these merciless killers in an epic battle that will reveal the true faces of both enemy and ally!

Why won't they make a movie like this?

I started watching Star Trek the Original Series, when I was 10 years old. The thing I really enjoy about this writer is the way he brings up so many events, from the original series, and the way he describes the characters. He does such a good job, that I can actually see their expressions in my mind. I also love the way he brought in so many story threads , from the original series, and brought many of them to a conclusion. To be honest, the one thing I didn't like about the book, is that the story jumped around so much, from year to year, ship-to-ship, back and forth. it's a good format, but less of it, in this book, would have been better.

Loved it

I loved the idea of the book but I was not happy with the retcon king of the two Star Trek the original series episodes. Giving human telepathy because of a symbiont was weird.

The plot unravels over many layers

This is a very interesting book connecting the present with events like Vige from movie number one and the eaner from Star Trek Enterprise. Robert Petkoff is unbelievably good at imitating the voices of the cast from the original series. I will buy more books narrated by him.

Wow! What a story !

This was a great story idea as well a clever bridge between Star Trek The Motion Picture and Wrath of Kahn.

Very trite. Too many speeches

I am a trekkie but this story has way too many speeches about the high morals of the Federation.
