- Review of Lost to Eternity
2024: Almost forty years ago, marine biologist Gillian Taylor stormed away from her dream job at San Francisco's Cetacean Institute - and was never seen or heard from again. Now a new true crime podcast has reopened that cold case, but investigator Melinda Silver has no idea that her search for the truth about Gillian's disappearance will ultimately stretch across time and space - and attract the attention of a ruthless obsessive with his own secret agenda.
2268: The USS Enterprise's five-year mission is interrupted when Captain James T. Kirk and his crew set out to recover an abducted Federation scientist whose classified secrets are being sought by the Klingons as well. The trail leads to a barbaric world off limits to both Starfleet and the Klingon Empire - and an ageless mastermind on a quest for eternity.
2292: The Osori, an ancient alien species, has finally agreed to establish relations with its much younger neighbors: the Federation, the Klingons, and the Romulans. A joint mission involving ships from all three powers, including the Enterprise-A, turns explosive when one of the Osori envoys is apparently killed. Each side blames the others, but the truth lies buried deep, nearly three hundred years in the past...

Star Trek (From WikiPedia)
The show is set in the Milky Way galaxy, c. 2266-2269. The ship and crew are led by Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), First Officer and Science Officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Chief Medical Officer Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley). Shatner's voice-over introduction during each episode's opening credits stated the starship's purpose:
Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Norway Productions and Desilu Productions produced the series from September 1966 to December 1967. Paramount Television produced the show from January 1968 to June 1969. Star Trek aired on NBC from September 8, 1966, to June 3, 1969.[3] It was first broadcast on September 6, 1966, on Canada's CTV network.[4] While on NBC, Star Trek's Nielsen ratings were low and the network canceled it after three seasons and 79 episodes. In the United Kingdom; however, it was not until July 12, 1969 that the series was first broadcast, coinciding with the mission of Apollo 11 to land the first humans on the Moon.[5] Through broadcast syndication it became an international success in the 1970s, achieving cult classic status and a developing influence on popular culture. Star Trek eventually spawned a media franchise consisting of 11 television series, 13 feature films, and numerous books, games, and toys, and is now widely considered one of the most popular and influential television series of all time.[6]
Creation
On March 11, 1964, Gene Roddenberry, a long-time fan of science fiction, drafted a short treatment for a science-fiction television series that he called Star Trek.[7] This was to be set on board a large starship named S.S. Yorktown in the 23rd century[8][9] bearing a crew dedicated to exploring the Milky Way galaxy.
In Roddenberry's original concept, the protagonist was Captain Robert April of the starship S.S. Yorktown. This character was developed into Captain Christopher Pike, first portrayed by Jeffrey Hunter. April is listed in the Star Trek Chronology, The Star Trek Encyclopedia, and at startrek.com as the Enterprise's first commanding officer, preceding Captain Pike. The character's only television/movie appearance was in the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "The Counter-Clock Incident" until Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, where he is portrayed by Adrian Holmes.

It must be a good book, because I could feel the passion in your review.
Sounds interesting! Love the idea of a 2024 podcast. And! Voyage home may be my favorite tos film.
The Voyage Home is simply a damn good film.
I don't really consider myself a Star Trek fan, but the book sounds interesting. I'd want to go watch the Voyage Home again before reading the book. If you find yourself looking for a fun fantasy book, I have to recommend "Small Gods" by Sir Terry Pratchett. It's book 13 in the Discworld series, but it is a standalone title. It does an amazing job of looking at religion and philosophy through a comedic and thought-provoking lens. The audio book is 12 hours and is performed by Andy Serkis who does a great job bringing the characters to life.
