Synopsis

Just after the events of Star Trek Generations, on the planet Veridian III, ambassador Spock comes to the humble cairn, or stones, that marks the grave of James Kirk. But he is not granted time to ponder the passing of his best friend. The Borg and the Romulan Empire have a use for Kirk, and with some mysterious alien science they resurrect the fallen captain, who they hope will give them the edge they need to destroy their greatest enemy, Jean-Luc Picard. It will take the combined powers of both generations, from Spock and McCoy to Data and Riker, to meet this almost unthinkable new threat.

But that's why I LOVE THIS book. This is one of......more

Still really fun, yes there are a few silly elements and some very convenient solutions but its just a really fun time. Great action packed opening. The Return in the title is very Frankenstein and there’s some interesting body-horror elements and nods to The Thing. I didn’t understand the Trilex exp......more

Goodreads review by Hidekisohma on January 03, 2017

There is only one word to describe this book. LOVE. First off, Star Trek Generations was one of the most garbagiest things to ever garbage. Not only did it make no sense, but it killed off one of the best characters in fiction. Then, in response to this, Shatner writes his own book about how Kirk co......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on June 05, 2019

A lot of action and big, bold ideas here, but there's too much going on, much of it just too fantastical. Shatner's audio narration is hurried and one dimensional, plus he mispronounces some Trek terminology to the extent that even I can recognize. On a positive note, if you always wanted to witness......more
