Summary: A Modest Shatner effort.
Review: This review is based on the abridged Audio CD. I've read the Tek War books and 6 of his ST books, and this is my least favorite of the bunch so far. I'm a Hugh Shatner fan, as author and as Kirk, but I can only give this 3 stars. What holds this story together is the interplay between Picard and Kirk? We have a little murder mystery going on her also. Shatner has teamed them many times, and it seems he is the only author with the guts or gravitas to do it. I hope he keeps writing in the ST universe. I like the fact that Kirk, Bones (God rest his soul), Spock and Scotty live on in Shatner's Star Trek world. I hated it when Generations killed off Kirk, and loved it when he had to audacity to write himself back to life. And I am not tongue-in-cheek. I am serious. THE RETURN is the first non-Tek War Shatner book I had read. Based on that book I have read the rest of his ST books, and this one at 3 stars is the worst of the bunch, but still pretty good Star trek Sci-Fi. This review is based on the Audio CD.
