About this audiobook
It is 2246, ten years prior to the Battle at the Binary Stars, and an aggressive contagion is ravaging the food supplies of the remote Federation colony Tarsus IV and the eight thousand people who call it home. Distress signals have been sent, but any meaningful assistance is weeks away. Lieutenant Commander Gabriel Lorca and a small team assigned to a Starfleet monitoring outpost are caught up in the escalating crisis, and bear witness as the colony’s governor, Adrian Kodos, employs an unimaginable solution in order to prevent mass starvation.
While awaiting transfer to her next assignment, Commander Philippa Georgiou is tasked with leading to Tarsus IV a small, hastily assembled group of first responders. It’s hoped this advance party can help stabilize the situation until more aid arrives, but Georgiou and her team discover that they‘re too late—Governor Kodos has already implemented his heinous strategy for extending the colony’s besieged food stores and safeguarding the community’s long-term survival.
In the midst of their rescue mission, Georgiou and Lorca must now hunt for the architect of this horrific tragedy and the man whom history will one day brand “Kodos the Executioner”….

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrator made this listen really worth while. He captured all the voices so well (as did the writer). Those familiar with the tv series will have no difficulty imagining the characters. It’s a solid story written in a way that makes the events of a very famous ST event really come to life and to seem almost real. The interspersed excerpts from a book about the event are most responsible for creating a full depth and are some of the best written passages. I really hope there come to be more books on the adventures of Lorca and Georgiou as they are quite riveting characters and among the best born of the Star Trek universe. I really enjoyed this addition to the saga of Star Trek Discovery.
