About this listen

 An original novel based on the explosive TV series Star Trek: Discovery!

Despite being an inexperienced Starfleet cadet, Sylvia Tilly became essential to the USS Discovery finding its way back home from the Mirror Universe. But how did she find that courage? From where did she get that steel? Who nurtured that spark of brilliance? The Way to the Stars recounts for fans everywhere the untold story of Tilly’s past.

It’s not easy being sixteen, especially when everyone expects great things from Tilly. It’s even harder when her mother and father are Federation luminaries, not to mention pressing her to attend one of the best schools that the Federation has to offer. Tilly wants to achieve great things—even though she hasn’t quite worked out how to do that or what it is she wants to do. But this year, everything will change for Tilly, as she about to embark upon the adventure of a lifetime—an adventure that will take her ever closer to the stars… Adventure Fiction First Contact Genre Fiction Military Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Science Fiction Space Opera Star Trek Discovery

This book was great. The Una's writing is wonderful and gripping. A wonderful and heart warming coming of age story in the Star Trek universe. January LaVoy's vocal performance is pretty good, but her Australian accent is not quite perfect. Still better than most Americans who try it though. The best character is probably Captain Yindi Holden. Having an Indigenous Australian captain was a wonderful detail for this book, especially having her researching other cultures' oral traditions.

This is a very good book. An in depth look at Tilly's journey to Starfleet. My only disappointment with this was that it was told as a single story. Star Trek often does a great job of revealing a character's past by creating a suitable parallel situation through a current mission.

The story got much better as it went along. The churn through the earliest shared experiences becomes a solid backbone to support her later decisions.

Tilly is interesting. She's brilliant.

The narration was also fantastic!

With Mother's like Sylvia Tilley's ... well, you know the rest. It's not straight forward and her story has surprises. A lot of fun! Loved the characterisations, January! Well done!

Excellent origin story for Discovery's favourite
