Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, is dying, and Spock returns to the planet Vulcan where he and Sarek enjoy a rare moment of rapprochement. But just as his wife's illness grows worse, duty calls Sarek away, once again sowing the seeds of conflict between father and son. Yet soon Sarek and Spock must put aside their differences and work together to foil a far-reaching plot to destroy the Federation, a plot that Sarek has seen in the making for nearly his entire career.
The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise™ journeys to the heart of the Klingon Empire where Captain Kirk's last surviving relative has become a pawn in a battle to divide and conquer the Federation. With Sarek's help, the crew of the Starship Enterprise learns that all is not as it seems. But before they can prevent the Federation's destruction, they must see the face of their hidden enemy, an enemy more insidious and more dangerous than any they have faced before.

"Read long, long ago but very much enjoyed. I'm just guessing at the date, of course. But seeing the cover in my updates when a friend added it reminded me of how much I enjoyed it and I had to add it to my books. "
— Cathy (4 out of 5 stars)
“Trekkies will enjoy Sarek.”
— Booklist“In this stellar production Spock and his father, Sarek, are reunited after an eighteen-year estrangement…Mark Lenard gives a superb performance. His character differentiations, even for women and Klingons, are outstanding. His narration is further enhanced by the music and sound effects, which are provided for all Star Trek audiobooks.”
— AudioFile" If you likede Mark Lenard's portrayal of Sarek in the series, this book delves more into his character. It explores Spock's relationship with both parents and it is well written if you like A. C. Crispin's style, which I do. "

— Cathy, 5/25/2013" This book reads like a cheap romance novel for sci-fi geeks. I kinda wanted to vomit most of the time. "
— Kyle, 4/4/2013" I need comfort food; time for a re-read. I heart this book so much. "
— Heather, 4/3/2013" Does what a good Star Trek novel should do - take the reader further than the series would dare to go. It rides the success of "Spock's World" and we get more info about the life of Spock's father and mother. What I liked best was the adventures of Kirk's nephew, Peter. "
