Space, the final frontier...these are the logs of Herb Solow and Bob Justman, two of themain diring forces behind "Star Trek". Throughout three seasons of low ratings and horrible ratings, these two men helped keep a series running. When many doubted the show could survive past a firs season,Herb abd Bob were there to keep it going. Many people don't recognize these names, but they will always have them in their mind for all eternity after reading this stunning and compelling documentary to a legend.
"Inside Star Trek - The Real Story" ventures from "Wagon Train through the Stars" to "He's dead, Jim" to the dark days of "Spocks Brain" and then to the emptiness of cancellation. Through close examination of the rumors and here-say, we find what's true and what's not.
Whatever books you nay have read before that examine the real behind-the-scenes story of Star Trek, throw them out. Journey with me into the final frontier to read this detailed account of what went on. From the story-writing, to the costume design - it's all uncovered. No rock is left unturned.
If you think of yourself as a real Star Trek fan, you will read this book, or you cannot call yourself a real fan. Want to know the juicy secrets of the infamous Shatner wig? What about the details of Leonard Nimoy's financial troubles after the first season?
You'll laugh and you'll cry, but in the end you can go away from this book with a feeling of true pride in being a Star Trek Fan.
