About this listen

 The U.S.S. EnterpriseTM is summoned to transport a dangerous criminal from Starbase prison to a rehabilitation center, the brilliant physicist Dr. Georges Mordreaux, accused of promising to send people back in time, and then killing them instead.

But there's more at stake than just a few lives. For Mordreaux's experiments have somehow thrown the entire universe into a deadly time warp. All of existence is closing in on itself, and only Spock can stop the Entropy Effect.© and (P)1988 Paramount Pictures Corporation, All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

I love Star Trek:TOS and I've read some of Vonda McIntyre's books before but this was my first ST audiobook. George Takei narrates the bulk of the story and Leonard Nimoy narrates brief log entries.
Let me say first that I admire George Takei enormously as a human being, and I'd certainly listen to him read, say, an autobiography, but he cannot do a Scottish accent to save his life. So (as a Scot) I cringed whenever he narrated Scotty's dialogue. Another character, Ian Brathwaite, well, I'm not sure what accent he was supposed to have as it veered between Scottish, French and - perhaps - German.
It's such a shame because George Takei, reading as himself, has a lovely and pleasant to listen to voice, and in fact is at his best when voicing Dr McCoy's dialogue. The story for me was lost sadly under the cringe factor of the patchy narration and I had to persevere to the end rather than enjoy the listening experience.

A good story spoiled by the patchy narration
