A sci-fi adventure that includes a tale of vengeance one-hundred years
in the making, Star Trek Prey is an epic original tale that includes many
favorite Star Trek characters. The
Jackal’s Trick is the second book in this series, and it starts right where
Book 1, Hell’s Heart left off.
To be honest, the story is quite detailed and I find it hard to do it
justice, especially as it is in the second book in the series. In general, a young lieutenant of Kruge, (Klingon
Kirk killed at the end of Star Trek III) Korgh, spent 100 years plotting his
revenge and how to take over the house of Kruge. Using rogue Klingons who were kicked out of
the empire, now called the Unsung, Korgh was able to mastermind his
takeover. But there are other players
involved including Worf who is on a mission to avenge the assassination of Kahless,
and Admiral Riker and crew who are trying to protect all participants in a peace
conference. Will the Unsung continue to
follow their leader? Will the tricksters
involved get their due or host the biggest con in the galaxy?
The Jackal’s Trick was an action packed book. I’ll admit I thought the storyline was all
tied up at one point and thought, how could there be a third novel, only to
have the storyline really explode on me and surprise me in the direction it
turned. I loved books that can continually
surprise me! I also loved that so many
characters of Star Trek are involved including Tuvok from Voyager. I love all of the different threads of this
story. I’m actually almost finished with
Book 3 and I can’t wait to see how it ends!
Robert Petkoff is the perfect narrator for this audiobook. He does
amazing voice acting for all of the different characters that makes this a very
enjoyable audiobook to listen to – especially for a lifelong fan of Star Trek
like myself.
Overall Star Trek Prey: The
Jackal’s Trick (Book 2) is an enthralling adventure story that continues the
journey started in Hell’s Heart. It perfectly
captures the Star Trek world and characters with a fantastic voice narrator. I highly recommend this audiobook!
