Summary: Having Mark Lenard On Tape is Great!
Review: Repeat after me, "This IS an abridged version of the book". They can't possibly get the whole book onto a 2-hour tape, nor do they try. There is a lot left out. You must read the book, which is wonderful. The great thing about this book-on-tape is that Mark Lenard reads it. He played the role of Sarek on the series and in the movies. It's a great tribute to him to have his wonderful voice and characterization on tape. It deserves to be in every Star Trek collection.

Summary: The death of a legend
Review: Spock's mother was a legend. She embraced Vulcan ideology and had a son with a Vulcan man. She was a woman of life and spirit. This novel is sad, Amanda's weaken state causes Spock anguish, that he cannot show in front of his father. When Sarek leaves, days before Amanda dies, Spock is angry and feels that his father betrayed his mother. In the end they reconcile, but it is hard, very hard on Spock's human half. I really enjoyed this book, I looked into what pre-Spock life was for Spock's parents. I saw how Amanda truly felt at certain moments. This book should be read by everybody who loves Star Trek and Spock. Keep the tissue close to you.

Summary: One of the best Star trek books!
Review: Star Trek Sarek is a great book on Sareks's life. It seemed to focus on Amamda Grayson (Sarek's wife), but it did tell about Sarek's life. In this book there are a lot of chapters that are Sareks's or Amamda's memories. The chapters are very long. About 50-65 pages each. I am only 12 years old and I never saw the origianl series episodes but I still liked it. Every fan of Star Trek should read this book.

Summary: Star Trek: Sarek
Review: Star Trek: Sarek written by A.C.Crispin is a book about the life of one of the most revered characters in the Star Trek genre... Sarek, spock father and an ambassador of the Federation. For being a book about a Vulcan, you would think this book would be void of emothion... far from this case, indeed. This book runs the full gambit of human emotion, you'll cry, laugh, be heartbroken and happy. This book's time frame is after the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, as Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, is dying and Spock returns to Vulcan where he meets his father Sarek and they get reacquainted, so to speak, making for some very interesting reading. Of course, the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew aren't too far away from this epic tale... no sir, as Captain Kirk's last surviving relative has become a pawn in the battle to divide the Federation. The Klingon Empire, you can always count on them, are the kidnappers with the Federation's distruction not too far behind. There is action-adventure in this story, love and loyality. There is an enemy more insidious and more dangerous than any faced to this point. The characteriztions are spot-on with a well-fleshed out dialog making for a very quick, fast read. You will get engrossed with this tale and will not want to put the book down til the end. You can always tell when you have an excellent Trek Book in your hands... the pages seem to fly by... this is the case with this book. This book fills in some of the spotiness between Spock and Sarek whick were until now only circumspect.

Summary: Great story
Review: The main reviewer is wrong its not apiece of fluff. This book has several storylines melded (no pun intended) together. If you love star trek get this book to learn more about vulcans and klignons! Sorry, you have to read the book.

Summary: Biography of Spocks father Sarek
Review: The story is intriging and compelling. It has all the ingredients for a riviting story. The best part about the audio is that it is read by Mark Lenard. He is an excellent reader and has done Saab commercials previous to this. He makes you feel like your there. And he can do enough with the voices that you can vividly see all the characters. He even does a great Spock impression. Absolutely the best Star Trek audio ever.

Summary: My favorite Star Trek book!
Review: This book is exremely interesting from begenning to end. It actually made me cry at one point but it also had some comedy and action in it. I especially liked the chapters of Sarek and Amanda's past. This book is a "must read" for all non Star Trek fans and the most dedicated Star Trek fans.
