Product Details

Product Description

From AudioFile

When a planet is reborn swarming with monsters, the Federation sends Klingon Worf and sons to clean up the mess. Rife with interspecies and intergalactic politics, this Star Trek episode lives and breathes, thanks to reader Tim Russ's adroit vocal characterizations. The producers wisely choose to present this as audio theater, laden generously with sound effects that follow the script closely and literally, sometimes too literally. If you like your phasers on "maximum stun," you'll love the action of GENESIS FORCE.

3.0 out of 5 stars strange, Oct 18 2006
Well,it's my OWN opinion...and nobody must agree with me...but why the writters almost always must(?)do strange things with Alexander??It's disgusting.Why they couldn't do something like that with anyone else:-(?
This matter of murder really could involve someone else.

3.0 out of 5 stars OK Trek Book, Great Audio!, Feb 11 2004
By J. Straub (Cleveland Heights, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book-on-tape which seems to take place sometime during the next generation movies finds Worf in command of a small Klingon fleet resettling the colonists in wake of the Genesis wave. In this process they encounter a culture that has decided to preserve themselves in their orbital transporter network.

Tim Russ (Voyager's Tuvok) does an excellent job of portraying the full gauntlet of characters ranging from the out-of-favor scientist turned savior to the planet's genetically-perfect ruler to Worf and the Klingons.

The story brings back a few now-older characters like Worf's son Alexander and Jeremy (the kid that Worf took under his wing because he lead the away team that resulted in his mother's death). Both have ended up serving under Worf on the Klingon ship (Jeremy apparently through some sort of Federation exchange program). Unfortunately, the rest of the enterprise crew play a very minor role in the whole saga.

The story begins to pick up when the now-destroyed and supposedly lifeless planet appears to have life on it; moreover this life form seems to be able to shape-shift and nearly convinces the colonists to begin coming down in droves before the Klingons discover that the life forms are not what they appear.

The Klingons want to put everything on hold until they can figure out the mystery of the planet. In the interim, however, another mystery (which becomes Alexander's challenge) is formed when the planet's leader is killed and the heir-apparent and scientist-savior are the two leading suspects.

The colonists are not willing to wait (with the transporter systems failing and afraid of loosing lives) and begin a process that is supposed to re-terraform the planet. However, what they don't know apparently can hurt them and does.

4.0 out of 5 stars First Star Trek novel I've read, pretty good!, Jan 26 2004
By ra2sky "ra2sky" (the left coast) - See all my reviews
I thought this book was entertaining, and I did not feel at a disadvantage because I had never read a Star Trek book before. The plot was interesting, with some good twists. I thought the author was very creative in his use of futuristic conventions, while still leaving the storyline accessible to a non sci fi person.

4.0 out of 5 stars Genesis Force A Solid Read
Genesis Force follows the aftermath of the Genesis Wave. Genesis Force is a bit darker than most Star Trek novels. Read more
