For almost three decades, William Shatner has portrayed Star Trek's gallant commander of the legendary Starship Enterprise and her crew. Now William Shatner brings his unique blend of talents as actor, writer, director, and producer, to tell the story only he can, of Captain Kirk's greatest adventure... The time, six months prior to the launch of the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-B and the tragic loss of Captain James T. Kirk in deep space. The place, Earth, where the galaxy's most renowned hero must now face the specter of retirement and a life devoid of challenge and excitement. But in the apparent twilight of his career, Kirk's path takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious young woman offers him an irresistible adventure--a perilous voyage to an uncharted planet where he will confront the ultimate threat to the fragile peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, and the ultimate temptation--a chance to recapture his youth.… (mais)

Reading this book has SLIGHTLY improved my opinion of William Shatner, who obviously didn't write it but did presumably sign off on what was in it. This is because it treats Kirk as a fairly realistic man in late-middle-age, sometimes suffering from ED (this is true and happens in the first few chapters and no, I didn't need to hear about it, but now that I have we all have to deal with it) and sometimes making an ass of himself over a girl a third his age who's sheerly manipulating him. Of course, in the end she claims she fell in love with him anyway—there has to be SOME sop to ego—but overall, I approve of a book which isn't too precious about our dear Captain. I lay all the credit at the feet of the Reeves-Stevenses, who are definitely in the top tier of Star Trek authors.

I'm rather torn about how high to rate this book, so I'll settle for 4,5 stars. I absolutely loved it, even though Kirk's escapades seemed a bit too much from time to time (particularly the metioning of so many of his female conquests. I know it was a thing on the tv show, but really...)
That being said, it also was a beautiful depiction of Kirk's character, his ideals, and the friendship between him and his crewmates.
It almost felt autobiographical in parts, as parrallells certainly can be drawn between Shatners experiences at cons and Kirk's reflections on his fame. All in all it was a heartfelt novel, and a must-read for fans of TOS. ( )

The first 'post-Generations' Star Trek story involving Kirk. This book was the best of the Shatner-verse books, in my opinion, due to the fact that the majority of the story takes place before the events in Generations. The story starts where Generations ends, but then goes into a retrospective story and stays there until the final pages, where it picks up, again at Kirk's grave site on Veridian III. It leaves you on a cliff-hanger, which entices you to continue on with the next Shatner-verse book. Unfortunately, it goes downhill after this book. ( )

Carino, classica avventura in stile Trek, non per niente scritta da Shatner (se pur in collaborazione). ( )

I would be willing to believe the rumors that this novel was ghosted, except that the writing level and the overemphasis on Kirk's heroism fits my idea of William Shatner's self-image. The stacatto writing style is in perfect sync with Shatner's acting style. The story is a fairly standard "last adventure" for the crew, and Shatner apparently tries to use the story to throw in some half-hearted apologies to his fellow actors for his spoiled-star treatment of them in earlier years.
