Description
They said it couldn’t be done! A science fiction show on national television? The network didn’t believe it would work. It was the 1960s. Would the public accept a non-human hero with demonic pointed ears? A black female lieutenant? Impossible!
BUT STAR TREK LIVES!
This is the story of a phenomenon – a story as strange and wonderful, in its way, as the Enterprise’s trip through space. Even the power of the networks couldn’t stop it. And so Star Trek went on to make entertainment history. Here is the complete inside story of what happened behind the scenes of the Star Trek universe, from scriptwriters’ memos to special effects, plus revealing personal interviews with the series’ legendary stars.
The legend of Star Trek lives in the hearts of millions – now, discover the truth behind the fiction. Writer David Gerrold was on the set, watching it happen: the feuds, the fun, the love – the magic that is Star Trek. A must-have for “Trekkies” of all ages, Worlds of Star Trek includes more than 50 pages of photos from your favorite episodes and stills from all three movies.
