Wise, gentle, so strong and courageous that he would put his own life on the line again and again, so devoted to duty that he would ignore his own well being and come up to the bridge for his crew, yet so tender hearted that he would be the first person on the deck comforting and nurturing the injured and the grieving.

I loved discovering the books and all the wonderful things that had been abridged out. ![]() I loved the abridged audio versions beautifully brought to life by Jimmy Doohan’s sensitive performance. I’m rereading my two favorite Trek novels of all time, “Final Frontier” and “Best Destiny” by Diane Carey, for a project I’m working on, and I wanted to share some thoughts.įirst of all, I have loved these two books since I was twelve years old. ![]()
