About this listen

Brent Spiner's explosive and hilarious novel is a personal look at the slightly askew relationship between a celebrity and his fans. If the Coen Brothers were to make a Star Trek movie, involving the complexity of fan obsession and sci-fi, this noir comedy might just be the one.

Set in 1991, just as Star Trek: The Next Generation has rocketed the cast to global fame, the young and impressionable actor Brent Spiner receives a mysterious package and a series of disturbing letters, that take him on a terrifying and bizarre journey that enlists Paramount Security, the LAPD, and even the FBI in putting a stop to the danger that has his life and career hanging in the balance.

Featuring a cast of characters from Patrick Stewart to Levar Burton to Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, to some completely imagined, this is the fictional autobiography that takes listeners into the life of Brent Spiner, and tells an amazing tale about the trappings of celebrity and the fear he has carried with him his entire life.

This was weird, I can’t put my finger on it. Enjoyed it, but didn’t love it. I would go as far to say a bit silly and far fetched to be enjoyed fully. As a Star Trek fan I felt I needed to listen.

Whatever I thought this was, it wasn’t.

Great performances but mediocre story.

I wanted to love it, being a Trekkie, and loving Brent, however it wasn’t the best.

Really enjoyable listen! This is absolutely a well written piece of real person fan fiction and I enjoyed every minute!

The story got a teeny bit predictable in some tiny ways but still fun!

A really fun listen!

Look preface this with the fact I am a huge Trek Fan and love everything about it. If you are a fan too, this is definitely worth a listen. I love Data and Brent, this just felt like it was struggling to be fully formed and coherent. Although it is clearly fiction it is blended with much fact which makes it difficult to reqlly, trust or believe any of it. It’s a bit like trying to watch two different TV shows at the same time. It’s good, but muddled and I think ultimately I would have just preferred a fictional story OR a real autobiography. It’s a neat idea to blend the two, but it just doesn’t sit quite right.
Brent delivers a a good performance and obviously the cameos are fun.
I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t love it although I had to find out the denouement, so I listened fast and long!
Treckies will enjoy it, everyone else may struggle.

I want to love it.

Is it Shakespeare? Absolutely not!
Is it fun, did it make me laugh and did I enjoy it? I absolutely did!
I’ve been a smidge generous with my rating but this story - and the audio book performance - brought me joy and I am thankful for that.

A bit of fun from a fan favourite

Very funny, unpredictable, varied vocal contributions (especially Patrick Stewart’s Dickens and Burton’s meditation) and refreshingly engaging.

Great Lore from Data himself

clever story, describing perfectly the thin line between adoration and obsession that fans sometimes inhabit!

the actor narrating the story is absolutely perfect as Brent Spiner.
