Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The oral history of the Star Trek franchise boldly continues. Writer and producer Altman and Gross who did a terrific job in their first volume, have once again meticulously selected and chronologically arranged a massive number of comments from more than 200 people involved in the TV shows and movies.” Kirkus Reviews
“An infectious giddiness underlies the interviews; people are sincerely excited to talk about Star Trek…This is an intimidatingly lengthy book but also a page-turner. Longtime fans will find a lot to chew on, and newer fans will feel like old pros after reading this splendidly crafted work.” Publishers Weekly
“More than a dozen voice talents admirably read the hundreds of quotes and opinions from scores of Star Trek cast, crew, and insiders, with an emphasis on the writers and producers…This is an absolute must for the serious fan.” AudioFile
[T]his is an absolute must for the serious fan. AudioFile Magazine
