The online blurbs when I ordered this were not explicit enough that this is the script of the audio play, and not a novelisation. So I was slightly surprised with what I found inside, and I’ve seen other readers with the same comment.
Surprise aside though, I don’t have a problem with reading it in this format, although it does reduce the density down quite significantly and mean that there’s not a huge amount of story for your money.
Set between the first two seasons of Star Trek: Picard, we see Raffi and Seven having some downtime when they are called upon to help defend a collection of cultural artefacts.
It’s a good little adventure that shows the two characters learning how they can complement each other, while also exploring the wider Trek universe in this time, and dealing with some classic sci-fi issues at the same time. There’s a lot of humour as well, which keeps some of the scenes flowing.
