About this audiobook
This thrilling Star Trek adventure spanning time and space features both of the famous crews of the USS Enterprise led by Captain Kirk and Captain Picard.
Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 are faced with their most challenging mission yet—rescuing renowned scientist Zefram Cochrane from captors who want to use his skills to conquer the galaxy.
Meanwhile, ninety-nine years in the future on the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, Captain Picard must rescue an important and mysterious person whose safety is vital to the survival of the Federation.
As the two crews struggle to fulfill their missions, destiny draws them closer together until past and future merge—and the fate of each of the two legendary starships rests in the hands of the other vessel.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I remember loving this one. If I recall correctly, it came out right around the release of the first NextGen movie, Star Trek: Generations. I don't know which inspired/influenced the other, but I would have liked to have seen Federation on the big screen instead of Generations as it was the better story.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Read the book...and loved the audio! Mark Lenard did a great job! Will look for him as narrator and Sarek in future audio books
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I like Mark Lenard's voice, but they have to use artificial means to get his voice to differentiate between characters. It was a pretty good Star Trek story, a sequel to the original series' "Metamorphosis."
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Star Trek - Federation By Judith and Garfield Reeves-StevensPublisher: Pocket BooksPublished In: New York, NYDate: 1995Pgs: 467Summary:The shadows of a madman of Earth?s World War 3 collides with that of Zephram Cochrane, the father of warp drive that made the Federation possible and gave birth to the times of Kirk and Picard. These shadows stretch out through the ages of the Federation. Darkness, madness, obssession...light, discovery, ingenuity...the coin flipped. Picard, Kirk, and their crews deal with these in equal measure. From the birth of warp drive to the heart of a black hole, the Federation endures.Genre:Science Fiction, Movies and TelevisionMain Character: Zephram CochraneFavorite Character: CochraneLeast Favorite Character: Colonel Adrik Thorsen. The villain of the piece. When the story works the way it is supposed to, the villain should always be the least favorite character...or the favorite character depending on the tone of th story. I?d call this mission accomplished.Favorite Scene: The scene with the two EnterprisesPlot Holes/Out of Character: N/ALast Page Sound:A satisfied sighAuthor Assessment: Greatness. Would definitely read anything else by them.Disposition of Book: This is a keep it and re-read it someday book, just like it was after the first time I read it all those years ago.Why isn't there a screenplay?:This should have been the movie that was Star Trek: Generations. It would have passed the torch well while leaving a time and place for the original crew.
