Star Trek 101: A Practical Guide to Who, What, Where, and Why

Front Cover
8 Reviews
Pocket Books/Star Trek, Sep 23, 2008 - Fiction - 320 pages
In the future, a heroic captain and his crew explore the Galaxy in a really fast spacecraft. The crew's standing orders are:

"...to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."™

Simple, straightforward -- that's Star Trek.® So what's all the fuss? Why do news crews always seem to find someone, somewhere dressed up in a Star Trek costume? What could be so interesting to so many people?

Star Trek 101 is the answer. You'll learn just a little about the heroes (Captain Kirk believes that man wasn't meant to live in paradise), the villains (Klingons have a thirst for conquest), and the important aliens (Vulcans live their lives by logic). In the handy recaps for all things Star Trek, you'll discover that the television shows and movies run the gamut from action-adventure to comedy. Just want to sample? The ten essential episodes are offered for your consideration. Star Trek 101 is a quick primer of the television shows and movies that carry the Star Trek name.

The idea for this story grew out of research for her upcoming first novel from Ace, "Down the Rushy Glen, " which, happily, makes her ineligible to enter the contest next year.
