ABOUT THE BOOK:
STAR TREK MEMORIES, WILLIAM SHATNER'S PERSONAL "CAPTAIN'S LOG," CAPTIVATED LEGIONS OF FANS WITH ITS ABUNDANCE OF BACKSTAGE LORE FROM THEIR FAVORITE TV SHOW. NOW, IN STAR TREK MOVIE MEMORIES, SHATNER PICKS UP WHERE HE LEFT OFF AND ADVANCES AT WARP SPEED FROM 1969 TO THE PRESENT, RELATING IN EQUALLY EXPLICIT DETAIL WHAT WENT INTO THE MAKING OF ALL SIX "CLASSIC" STAR TREK MOVIES, WHILE INCLUDING ON-THE-SCENE REPORTING FROM THE SET OF THE BRAND NEW FILM, STAR TREK: GENERATIONS.
WRITING WITH THE SAME INFORMATIVE AND ENTERTAINING FLAIR OF THE FIRST BOOK, SHATNER HERE DISCLOSES ALL OF THE CHAOS, CREATIVE TURMOIL, BACK-STAGE POLITICS AND PRODUCTION HAPS AND MISHAPS THAT PERMEATED EVERY ONE OF THE MOVIES. AND WITH THE SAME UNFLINCHING CANDOR HE REVEALS THE ACCUMULATED GRUDGES THAT HAVEN'T YET MELLOWED WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME. DRAWING ON IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS AS WELL AS SHATNER'S PRIVATE REMINISCENCES, THE BOOK RECOUNTS STORIES ABOUT PARAMOUNT'S SUBTLE MANEUVERINGS TO WEAKEN GENE RODDENBERRY'S CREATIVE CONTROL FOLLOWING STAR TREK I; HOW KIRK'S LOVE INTEREST IN STAR TREK IV BEGAN AS A ROLE FOR EDDIE MURPHY; THE CREATIVE AND PRODUCTION NIGHTMARES OF STAR TREK V; AND MORE.
TO TOP IT ALL OFF, STAR TREK MOVIE MEMORIES OFFERS UP-TO-THE-MINUTE COVERAGE OF THE SEVENTH FILM, IN WHICH THE "CLASSIC" CREW PASSES THE TORCH TO PATRICK STEWART AND THE CAST OF THE NEXT GENERATION - AND SHATNER FACES THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF HIS ACTING LIFE AS KIRK.
BRIMMING WITH ANECDOTES, FASCINATING TRIVIA AND MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN PHOTOS, STAR TREK MOVIE MEMORIES WILL PROVIDE TREKKERS WITH ENOUGH TITILLATING TIDBITS TO CHEW ON WELL INTO STARDATE 2000.
