Summary
The first novel based on the thrilling Paramount+ TV series Star Trek: Strange New Worlds!
When an experimental shuttlecraft fails, Captain Christopher Pike suspects a mechanical malfunction—only to discover the very principles on which Starfleet bases its technology have simply stopped functioning. He and his crewmates are forced to abandon ship in a dangerous maneuver that scatters their party across the strangest new world they’ve ever encountered.
First Officer Una finds herself fighting to survive an untamed wilderness where dangers lurk at every turn. Young cadet Nyota Uhura struggles in a volcanic wasteland where things are not as they seem. Science Officer Spock is missing altogether. And Pike gets the chance to fulfill a childhood dream: to live the life of a cowboy in a world where the tools of the 23rd century are of no use.
Yet even in the saddle, Pike is still very much a starship captain, with all the responsibilities that entails. Setting out to find his crewmates, he encounters a surprising face from his past—and discovers that one people’s utopia might be someone else’s purgatory. He must lead an exodus—or risk a calamity of galactic proportions that even the Starship Enterprise is powerless to stop....

held my attention.
finished to book in 3 chunks. the American accent put me off at 1st as most of the books ive listened to have been by english (which i am) narrators. some characters weren’t exactly how they’re portrayed on t.v but overall it carry a good essence. 16 hours of listening so plenty of listening which i would say gets more value from credits. i’m an insomniac/nocturnal this book gave me an entertaining listen and held my attention rather then staring at the ceiling

Brilliant Trek
This is an enjoyable book that is worth reading. It takes along the spirit of the show and the narrator reading it is brilliant. I must recommend it.

Luxuriously lengthy Pike-heavy adventure
With the time available to explore this story, this feels gratifyingly like the book of a SNW-era film, rather than an episode. Starting with the focus on an away team of Captain Pike, Number One, Spock and Uhura, it focuses on the former two for the first half, which as a Spock fan was mildly disappointing at first. It's a great portrayal of Pike, however, and in many ways he is in his element here. There's adventure, humour, philosophy... but little science, for the majority of the story, which is again a slight mismatch to expectations, but didn't detract from a good yarn. The narrator managed a wide range of voices (except a passable British accent for La'an), the (strange new) world-building was adequate and everything comes to a satisfying conclusion. I couldn't stop listening! just makes me want to spend more time with this crew, in any format.

Nicely done
An engaging and clever story well presented and read. Even though listening, I almost believed that I was watching the show. Thank you!

A SNW film?
A very good story with lots of throwbacks to other shows. I think that this story should be pitched to Kurtzman as a potential film.

very reference heavy and slow to start
i hyped myself up for this, but overall, this was average at best. the narration was great, but i was quite disappointed at how reliant it was on enterprise episodes and a singular reference made in discovery. i love references and Easter eggs, but this goes out of its way to force those refs in your face. i had hoped for insight into the characters, but i didnt come away learning anything new that would make tv appearances and character development make more sense.

Fun premise
A great idea for a story in which none of the usual Star Trek technobabble solutions will work. Told with pace and drama. The ending wasn’t great but it was still very much worth it for the ride.

I love Star Trek Strange New Worlds and I could see this being used for a movie.
