The Star Trek Book Reviewed!
The Star Trek Book –

By DK Publishing, published June 2016
Written by Paul Ruditis and Sandford Galden-Stone
Edited by Simon Hugo
336 pages (which includes a comprehensive index and glossary)

“Celebrate 50 years of Star Trek with this comprehensive,
authoritative guide. Covering all the TV series and movies, including the
current movie continuity. The Star Trek Book explores one of the greatest
science-fiction sagas of all time.”
I can’t begin to imagine the task it must have been to
create this book. Trying to contain 50 years of Star Trek goodness to only 317
pages was a Herculean task. The writers state up front in the introduction that
their goal was to provide “an entertaining overview of the franchise”. And to
their credit, that’s exactly what they did.
The book is wonderfully dense, and not in a bad way. But
rather in terms of the volume of information they managed to jam in between the
covers. Neatly divided up into thematic section, The Star Trek Book breaking
down its exploration of this universe into digestible parts. It’s quite clear
that the authors have done their homework with crisp write-ups with lots of
timelines and diagrams.
I really enjoyed that the book stayed in universe
throughout, as if I was someone from the 24th century reading about
the Federation’s history of discovery. I was also impressed with the crew bios
of all the show’s incarnations, which I thought might be a bit tedious at
first, but proved to be a lot of fun.
If you enjoyed Star Trek Beyond and are looking to discover
the Star Trek Universe, or if you’re a Star Trek fan who wants a refresher on what’s
gone on in the last 50 years of Trek before the new TV show airs, The Star Trek
Book should be your go-to reference!
