Review of 'Sarek' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This Star Trek series book tells the story of Sarek in the time not long after the events of the movie Star Trek VI. In addition to the main plot, his life with Amanda is told through flashbacks and journal entries. The main cast also make appearances, at times unlikely but well written all the same.

Also unlikely is Peter Kirk, whose middle name might well be MacGuffin. This is a minor quibble, though, and Sarek shines through negotiation, strategy, and action. This stand-alone book was fun to read, and I understand an (abridged?) audio book is read by the actor who played Sarek, the late Mark Lenard. Look forward to finding that for a future re-read.
