Star Trek: Discovery: Dead Endless

Star Trek: Discovery — Dead Endless, the sixth novel in the Discovery tie-in series, traps the U.S.S. Discovery inside the mycelial network — the spore-based dimension through which the ship travels — when its fuel runs out and an apparently human survivor is found adrift within it. Lieutenant Stamets and the crew must discover whether this stranger is who he claims before the network's environment kills them all. Dave Galanter writes the novel with strong character focus on Stamets and the ethical questions the situation raises.

Robert Petkoff narrates with the precision the Star Trek universe's technical complexity demands. His command of the ensemble cast keeps the large ship's crew differentiated. At just over ten and a half hours the audiobook serves both Discovery fans who want bridge scenes filled in and Star Trek novel readers who follow the tie-in fiction for its own pleasures.
