Star Trek: Picard: The Last Best Hope (Unabridged‪)‬

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW

In this novel-length prequel to the Star Trek: Picard TV series, the best captain in the Star Trek universe (fight us) learns that doing the right thing can be an uphill battle. Starfleet living legend Jean-Luc Picard has finally been promoted from captain to admiral, and not a moment too soon. Scientists have just discovered that a star in the Romulans’ galaxy is about to go supernova, forcing Picard to spearhead a massive evacuation while tiptoeing around Earth's always-prickly relationship with the uncooperative race. Author Una McCormack brings many well-loved characters into this ticking-clock adventure, throwing them into the fray alongside brand-new faces. Narrator Robert Petkoff amplifies the unpredictable dynamics and drama and does an impressive job of capturing Picard’s strength and authority. Packed full of the kind of social and political commentary we love about the whole franchise, The Best Last Hope is guaranteed to satisfy true-blue Trekkies—and bring new ones into the fold.
