Star Trek: Transformations -- A Captain Sulu Adventure. It was an intriguing title. It was on audio. I had only heard one other recording like it, so I decided to buy it. I'm glad I did. About 6 months before my listening to this tape, I had heard the CD Cacophony. The plot deteriorated in the middle of the recording, the casting was awful, most of the characters were unbelievable. All except for one outstanding personality and voice. He was familiar with his character, and did an outstanding performance. This character was Captain Hikaru Sulu, as played by George Takei. Takei delivered an even better performance in the first Sulu adventure, Transformation. This time all the characters were all believable. All three of them. The plot was great. I loved every minute of it, except when I had to exert energy to turn the tape over. Overall, Transformations is the audio tape to get! It is extremely awesome in the dark with headphones on. The 3-D sound and your imagination will bring the story to life.Ambassador Worf out.

As a big fan of the original series and of the character of Sulu, it was great to see him made Captain at last in Star Trek VI. These wonderful audionovels allow fans who want more to get just that. Mr. Takei is a wonderful actor who has a great distinctive and effective voice. The excellent vocal cast on this audio novel also was a pleasure to listen to. It definately transported the mind to the final frontier... It is great to listen to on long drives or trips on planes or trains. Much like the now 'ancient' radio programs of old, audio novels let you use your best entertainment center, your imagination to it's fullest. Having a familiar and treasured character like Sulu connects you to the story in a great way. This was one of the best of the Captain Sulu audio series. Scary at times, a great mystery to unravel. All of the Captain Sulu stories in fact are quite good and I'd love to hear more...even better let's see a Captain Sulu series! Afterall the Adventure should always continue!
