And with his return come some god-like powers. He’s now commanding the U.S.S.

THE STAR TREK COOKBOOK – Chelsea Monroe-Cassel
I was going to start this review with the comment that we’ve finally seen it all … we’ve now got a Star Trek cookbook. But as I went to snag the cover image to post on my blog, I learned that we didn’t finally get a Star Trek cookbook … there have been a few of them over the Continue reading

STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS, VOL. 4 – graphic novel
STAR TREK WEEK Author/artist John Byrne just keeps getting better and better with these Star Trek photomontage graphic novels! For those who haven’t seen any of my other reviews of the Star Trek: New Visions series, the idea is that the author writes new stories featuring Kirk, Spock, and the crew of the Enterprise, and uses stills Continue reading

THE ENTERPRISE NCC 1701 AND THE MODEL MAKER – N. Datin McDonald and Richard C. Datin Jr.
STAR TREK WEEK There are many aspects of the television show Star Trek that have become iconic but is there anything more identifiable than the starship Enterprise? This self-published book by N. Datin McDonald gives some background and historical reference to the building of the original Enterprise model(s) used for the filming of the Star Trek television series. N. Datin Continue reading

STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS VOL. 3 – graphic novel
STAR TREK WEEK It is the third volume in the Star Trek: New Visions graphic novel series, this one featuring comic book issues #’s 6, 7, and 8. Author and photoplay artist/manipulator John Byrne has begun to refine the process and found ways to add new characters to the stories, broadening the scope of the stories. The Continue reading

SPOCK, MESSIAH! – Theodore R. Cogswell and Charles A. Spano, Jr.
STAR TREK WEEK Not too long back, I re-read and reviewed the first original Star Trek novel, Spock Must Die! by James Blish, who was a recognized name to us Star Trek fans for his book adaptations of the original episodes. For those of us who couldn’t get enough Trek in our lives (remember, kids … no streaming television to watch Continue reading

STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS VOL. 2 – graphic novel
STAR TREK WEEK Last summer I read and reviewed the first volume in author/artist John Byrne’s Star Trek: New Visions graphic novel series. It is set up like a comic book/graphic novel but using manipulated photos from the Star Trek series (like the old ‘Fotonovel’ books) to tell new stories. In this collection, Byrne stretches Continue reading

THE WISDOM OF PICARD – Chip Carter, editor
Let’s be honest. If you are thinking of buying this book, it’s because you are already a big Star Trek fan (or at least a Picard/Next Gen fan). You are probably interested in buying it because you are a Trek/Picard fan, or you’re thinking of it as a gift for a Trek fan. In any case, a review is Continue reading

TO THE STARS – George Takei
STAR TREK WEEK If you are considering buying this book, then you likely already have a pretty good idea of who George Takei is. Most will know him from his being a regular on the original Star Trek television series (and movies). Younger audiences will know him for his social media presence. In this biography/memoir, Continue reading

STAR TREK: YEAR FIVE #1 – graphic novel
*** WARNING: POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD*** Reading the old, Gold Key Star Trek comics, and then the John Byrne manipulated photo comics got me interested in seeing what the new Trek comics looked like. As I’ve been impressed with Amazon’s comic-reading app on my phone, I decided to buy this first issue of “Year Five”. The Continue reading

STAR TREK: NEW VISIONS – John Byrne
I want to know why it took so long for someone to actually do this! Author, artist, photo-manipulator John Byrne writes in his introduction that he wanted to create new Star Trek stories by editing existing clips of the episodes together. I’ve had the same thought! And then when he saw the Star Trek photonovels Continue reading

SPOCK MUST DIE! – James Blish
STAR TREK WEEK Oh, this was absolute gold back in the early 1970’s! Going mostly off of my own memories, this was the first, professionally published Star Trek story/novel. Fan magazines (fanzines) were already being produced, but with James Blish’s Spock Must Die!, fans everywhere could finally buy a brand new Star Trek story! By Continue reading
