This is an abridged audio version of the third book in a trilogy about an enemy called the Totality. Star Trek fans will enjoy this reading by William Shatner because he brings the characters alive with his engaging impersonations (although he could work on his women's voices). This audio book was like a radio show broadcast with special effects and a musical score that rivals the series.
The main negative aspect to this book is the fact that it's abridged. I recommend reading the pri More...

This book is much better than Shatner's previous books in many ways. I still was a little disappointed with how it ended; a little too much deus ex machina for my taste. Still, it's a very good book; for one thing, Shatner seems to have finally outgrown the tendancy to make Kirk into a demigod; in some of his previous books, it seemed that there was absolutely nothing that Kirk couldn't do, and even when that wasn't the case, he was always showing up Picard, Janeway, and any other Trek character

Shatner's Captain's trilogy ends with a bang, having many of the aspects from the previous books converge in the climax and end. The story kept me going, though I think I liked Captain's Blood the best out of the Captain's trilogy.

These Shatner books are surprisingly good because of the Reeves-Stevens duo. They really kind of defy Trek canon though.

This is the third book in the Totality series by Shatner. The first two books had some action but were setting the stage for the final confrontation in this book. It had alot of action and moved right along as it tied together all the various threads leading to the climax. Shatner's dialogue is written like a Trek episode, in that the dialogue is true to the film characters. It's easy to hear each of them saying the words because they are so natural to the whole feel of the characters. Lots

Entertaining enough to read while on commute. 2 captains of the enterprises saves the galaxy. With e help of various assorted star trek characters.

Overall, I have enjoyed it more than I enjoy most Star Trek books, especially lately.
Most likely because it is all based on characters I know very well and have watched or read about before. With still some new and unfamiliar ones.
It also has a story and theme that I enjoyed.
The book was fairly long as it was, but I felt it could have been a little bit longer, and more in-depth, but it certainly didn't need to be. So, well, there you have it.

A nice ending to this series, I must say I'm a little sick of the Totality, so I'm glad to be finished. On the other hand, I don't want the adventures of Kirk, Spock and McCoy to ever end, and did enjoy the interactions between them, as well as the characters from TNG/Voy. Collision Course is coming up in my stack of books to read, so I'm looking to a different angle from Shatner and the Reeves-Stevens'.

Set in the Star Trek universe with all a lot of the characters from the various series. Good story with the entire galaxy at stake.

Not bad. I kinda felt let down and I thought the end was a bit weird but it wasn't a bad read.

The best of the rebirth of Kirk books. Love the ship duel between Kirk and Picard.
