Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Absolutely stunning, according to StarTrek.com, this volume is a feast for fans (Comingsoon.net) and a much-needed look into the heart of the film (Trek Movie). It offers a veritable treasure trove of Trek lore and production insight (Adventures in Poor Taste) and is praised as a fully-realised history of the oft-misunderstood classic (Trekcore). The Film Stage notes the book offers inspiration for newfound respect for the Enterprise's initial big-screen journey.
