(FAQ). Star Trek FAQ tells the complete story of Star Trek ; from the before the beginning (the books; films; and TV shows that inspired producer Gene Roddenberry to create Star Trek ) until after the end (when the show emerged as a cultural phenomenon in syndication); and including dramatic behind-the-scenes stories (e.g.; Leonard Nimoys struggle with alcoholism and actress Grace Lee Whitneys controversial firing) often omitted from "authorized" histories of the program. Along with in-depth looks at the pre- and post- Trek careers of the shows iconic leads; Star Trek FAQ includes profiles of guest stars and "redshirt" extras alike; as well as the many writers; technicians; and artisans whose efforts enabled Star Trek to take flight. The book also explores the shows unprecedented resurgence in the 1970s with chapters devoted to early Star Trek fiction; merchandising; and the short-lived animated series. Combining a wealth of fascinating information about every facet of the shows production with original analysis of Star Trek s enduring appeal and cultural influence; Star Trek FAQ goes where no Star Trek book has gone before.
