About this listen

 The action-packed third novel in the Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series based on the thrilling Paramount+ TV show.

Captain Christopher Pike and the USS Enterprise crew venture to the edge of the Klingon Empire, where they uncover mysterious subspace echoes near a volatile “flare star” dangerously located in a disputed area of the star system. As the Enterprise diverts from its course to track the echoes, Spock leads a daring landing party to investigate the source of the subspace echoes, navigating dangerous ionic radiation that renders the Enterprise’s transporters too risky to use. What they find are city ruins and minimal life signs, but definite evidence of starship-grade metals in a single location…quite possibly a crash site.

While Uhura continues to investigate the subspace echoes, Spock and his team conduct their ground search, first finding shocking signs of alien life and later, the wreckage of an old Starfleet cargo modules from the era of the NX-01 Enterprise. Upon further investigation, they discover the USS Baldwin, an old warp-5 starship declared missing almost a century ago. No trace of the Baldwin or her fifteen crew members was ever found…until now.

Some characters that were part of the away team we follow for this story - like Nurse Chappel - seem to have limited focus. She was on the team to drive a medical related plot point or two, not much more. I'd have liked to have heard more of her.

Other characters, the story handled quite well.

The mystery continued until the end - whilst I was able to guess a significant part of it early on, I also got a lot wrong, so I was kept guessing and that's good.

Ortegas gets her time to shine in this timey wimey adventure
