Book description
Alan Dean Foster's Star Trek: Log Two captures the essence of the original series with the same energy and wonder that made the show a cultural touchstone. This audiobook collection delivers three distinct adventures, each brimming with the charm and bold exploration that defined Star Trek's early days.
In "The Survivor," the return of Carter Winston-originally from the episode "The Ultimate Computer"-adds a nostalgic layer to the narrative. But things aren't as they seem. Winston's visit to the Enterprise takes a sinister turn, weaving a tale of identity and deception that keeps listeners on edge. It's a story that feels both familiar and fresh, bolstered by crisp dialogue and a sense of mystery that unfolds with compelling momentum.
"The Lorelei Signal" shifts the tone dramatically, placing the male crew members under the spell of an otherworldly call. As the men fall prey to the allure of a lush, uncharted planet, it's left to Uhura and the women of the Enterprise to mount a rescue. This episode-turned-audiobook flips traditional sci-fi tropes on their head, offering a rare moment where the women take center stage. The storytelling is sharp, the stakes feel real, and Uhura's leadership shines in ways that feel both empowering and true to her character.
Finally, "The Infinite Vulcan" brings Spock to the forefront in a deeply personal and unsettling adventure. When he's kidnapped during what should be a routine mission to Phylos, the crew finds themselves tangled in a plot involving genetic manipulation and the very nature of logic itself. Spock's internal struggle is rendered with nuance, and the philosophical underpinnings of the story elevate it beyond a simple rescue mission.
Foster's writing is well-suited to audio format-vivid without being overly descriptive, emotionally engaging, and perfectly paced. The stories maintain the spirit of Star Trek while offering enough depth to satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers. Whether you're revisiting these episodes or experiencing them in this format for the first time, Star Trek: Log Two is a worthy addition to any fan's collection.

The engaging narration kept me motivated to keep listening, which meant longer gym sessions. The narrator's energy matched the material perfectly - upbeat when needed, somber when appropriate. A great example of how narration can enhance text. I don't have strong feelings about this one either way. The narration was competent but forgettable. The story itself was more engaging than the performance.
