Summary: Crap!
Review: I should have known it was crap, but ever the optimist I decided to give it a try. It was not just bad; it stunk: `Star Trek: Envoy' was garbage from the word go. The CD had one (1) track, and my cars CD player only lets you skip tracks (no fast forward - but it does hold 6 CD's). Instead of reading the story, these morons added sound effects, background noise, and had different people reading different parts. I got through about 10 minutes before I went to the next CD. It was loud, pointless, annoying, and endlessly repetitive - pure crap! I didn't even get to any of George Takei's dialog.

Summary: Star Trek Envoy - A fairly interesting premise!
Review: Some years ago, George Takei, a.k.a. Captain Hikaru Sulu took the opportunity to capitalize on his character becoming the captain of the USS Excelsior in "Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country." Star Trek "Envoy" a Captain Sulu adventure is one of those ventures.Overall, the entire premise of the story and the all out production for this audio CD is well worth the price and the time. The only downside to the entire adventure is that in its attempt to create a realistic atmosphere, they use alien language in the background while Sulu listens to the universal translator. Thankfully, this isn't used too often in any of the episodes because it provides a major distraction to what's important, the story. While it has been the rare L.A. Graf story that I've been enthralled with over the years, this story is quite good for this writing team. The premise: Captain Sulu is ordered away from the Excelsior in a shuttle craft on a mission to act as the Federation's envoy between two warring races, the Krikiki and the Den-Kai. Captain Sulu finds himself in a grave moral dilemma as he is to deliver a young Krikiki prince over to Den-Kai as a peace offering, but that prince will have to undergo isolation and physical mutilation. What follows from there is a fairly interesting story that I would recommend to any and all fans of Star Trek fiction as it makes for a great hour or so while driving down the highway. {ssintrepid}

Summary: Not bad but......
Review: This is not a bad audio-book but it could have a little more character debt instead of a lot of the annoying background music witch also could have usee a little more work.
