About this listen

Eighteen years ago the Starship Enterprise thwarted an alien invasion from another universe, and Captain Robert April took possession of the interdimensional transfer device that made it possible. Since then each captain of the Enterprise, from Christopher Pike to James T. Kirk, has guarded this secret with his life.

Now Romulan agents have succeeded in stealing the device and are using it to banish Ambassador Sarek and Councillor Gorkon to an unknown realm in the midst of their groundbreaking Federation-Klingon peace negotiations. With time running out as interstellar war looms in one universe - and alien forces marshal in another - will Captain Kirk and his crew preserve the tenuous peace and reclaim the key between the dimensions?

A good conclusion to a pretty cool series. I think the concept for this was excellent but I guess it's difficult imagining new universes and that we'll all come up with different ideas on how to make that interesting. Perhaps this isn't the direction I was hoping for but the beauty of the myriad universes is that there's room for every story and this is a great story.

I was initially underwhelmed with the plot for Purgatory's Key but I had high expectations by the time I started and even though they weren't met the story picked up for me after about half way. In order to flesh this story out a lot of stuff is going on in both universes but I really think the concept was rich enough to have focused more in the new universe and I suppose that it what I was hoping for.

There was a massive portion of this that felt like deja vu for me but I'm sure I hadn't read it previously. It was a lot of the stuff with Sarek. Actually I noticed early in this book that it was rather a convenient writing decision to have the Organian Peace Talks coincide with these events in order to have a top diplomat whisked away and right into a position where he could influence events with the two new races, but really that's not how Sarek was used in this story at all.

I really enjoyed the series and thought that Petkoff did an outstanding job.

I am a little disappointed with the direction the writers took the story with regards to the 'interesting' nature of the alternate universe Una and the others are trapped in. But the rest of the story is very well written

Well written, well narrated but unfortunate story
