Star Trek, The Next Generation: The Devil's Heart (Adapted)

De: Carter Carmen

Narrado por: Gates McFadden

The Devil's Heart is a legendary object of unsurpassed power and mystery. Worlds that believe in magic consider it Darkness' mightiest talisman; and worlds of science consider it a lost artifact of some ancient and forgotten race. Some say the Heart enables its possessor to control people's minds and to amass wealth enough for a dozen lifetimes, while others think it capable of raising the dead, perhaps even changing the flow of time itself. But to all, the location of this fabled object has remained a mystery, until now.

An isolated archaeological outpost has suddenly stopped responding to repeated requests for information. Sent to discover why, the U.S.S. Enterprise™ crew finds a devastated outpost and a dying scientist, whose last words fall on disbelieving ears - the Devil's Heart has been found.

As the quest for the Heart unfolds, Captain Jean-Luc Picard discovers that beyond all the legends and age-old secrets lies an awful truth: Whoever holds the Devil's Heart possesses power beyond imagining.

Fun read.

I really enjoyed how this tied into passed episodes and books. A little and interesting book.

boring star trek audio book I have listened to

boring star trek audio book I have listened to don't waste you time and money

It’s was ok

The story wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, but Gates carries the story with her character portrayals which were great.

Does the cast know she's so good at their voices?

Ms McFadden was superb. I am spoiled by Jim Dale's performance of the Harry Potter books. I found Ms McFadden's performance as satisfying.

The additional music and sound effects were well-balanced, enhancing the narration.

Loved it

I believe this would have been a great episode for Star Trek TNG! Glad I have bought it. Excellent read Gates!

Not bad, small improvements could have helped.

The choice for voices were more of a bad radio instead of being there in the story. I liked the plot but the choice of phaser sound was way, way off.

Exceptional TNG story

I wish this had been a one or two part episode. A captivating story that connects to the best TOS episode, the broader cannon, and to the well developed TNG characters.

Great story

This is one of my favorite Star Trek audio books. Great story that ties in with the tv series. I highly recommend this one.

fun

it was fun to listen to and I would recommend it. also I love star trek

There was a lot of plot holes.

Having read the original novel, I felt some disappointment with the adaptation because of everything that was left out. Ms. McFadden did a great job with the presentation but I wish it had been presented whole.
