The Antares Maelstrom

Written by Greg Cox

Narrated by Robert Petkoff

An epic new Star Trek saga by New York Times bestselling author Greg Cox set during the original Five-Year Mission!

The final frontier erupts into chaos as vast quantities of a rare energy source are discovered beneath the surface of Baldur-3, a remote planet beyond the outer fringes of Federation space. Now an old-fashioned “gold rush” is underway as a flood of would-be prospectors, from countless worlds and species, races toward the planet to stake their claim. The galactic stampede threatens the stability of neighboring planets and space stations, as widespread strife and sabotage and all-around pandemonium result in a desperate need for Starfleet assistance. Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise are dispatched to deal with the escalating crisis…which lies on the other side of a famously perilous region of space known as the Antares Maelstrom.

Reviews for The Antares Maelstrom

[David Willson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed the multiple stories going on at once.

Certainly worth the read/listen. The theatrical reading is amazing. Truly a great voice actor. He captures most of the essence of each character's voices.

Being the trekkie that I am, I'm game for just about any Star Trek title I can get my hands (or ears) on. But occasionally one really stands out. This is one of those titles. The reader was truly talented in his ability to get the nuances of the beloved TOS characters. There were times when I had to remind myself that George Takei wasn't actually reading this title. The book itself captured the personalities of the crew and was very true to the type of dialogue and interaction a seasoned trekkie would probably expect from the original crew of the Enterprise. An engaging frontier story and a multi-faceted adventure. This book really had it all. I'm going to look for other titles from this author.

Excellent story, even better voice work. First time I've ever liked an audiobook narrator enough to seek out other titles they have voiced. Luckily Scribd has a filter for that. Highly Recommend!
