Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: Toward the Night

By: James Swallow

Narrated by: Robert Petkoff

The action-packed third novel in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series based on the thrilling Paramount+ TV show.

Captain Christopher Pike and the USS Enterprise crew venture to the edge of the Klingon Empire, where they uncover mysterious subspace echoes near a volatile “flare star” dangerously located in a disputed area of the star system. As the Enterprise diverts from its course to track the echoes, Spock leads a daring landing party to investigate the source of the subspace echoes, navigating dangerous ionic radiation that renders the Enterprise’s transporters too risky to use. What they find are city ruins and minimal life signs, but definite evidence of starship-grade metals in a single location…quite possibly a crash site.

While Uhura continues to investigate the subspace echoes, Spock and his team conduct their ground search, first finding shocking signs of alien life and later, the wreckage of an old Starfleet cargo modules from the era of the NX-01 Enterprise. Upon further investigation, they discover the USS Baldwin, an old warp-5 starship declared missing almost a century ago. No trace of the Baldwin or her fifteen crew members was ever found…until now.

I love Star Trek

for some reason Star wars gets all the fame, but Star Trek is the universe that I want to live in if that future ever comes.

Excellent

This is an excellent book. I highly recommend for any Sci-Fi fans most especially Star Trek fans.

Bugs and Bears

I enjoyed another of Petkoff's Star Trek narrations. The occasional time warp storyline is fun, but I usually prefer the stories set in one time line. Overall 5 stars and highly recommended.
