The iconic Star Trek characters' life stories are told for the first time in their own words; perfect for fans of the upcoming Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

James T. Kirk chronicles the greatest Starfleet captain's life (2233-2293), in his own words. From his youth spent on Tarsus IV, his time in the Starfleet Academy, his meteoric rise through the ranks of Starfleet, and his illustrious career at the helm of the Enterprise, this in-world memoir uncovers Captain Kirk in a way Star Trek fans have never seen.

Jean-Luc Picard tells the story of one of the most celebrated names in Starfleet history. His extraordinary life and career make for dramatic reading: court martials, unrequited love, his capture and torture at the hands of the Cardassians, his assimilation with the Borg, and countless other encounters as captain of the celebrated starship Enterprise.

Kathryn Janeway reveals her career in Starfleet, from her first command to her epic journey through the Delta Quadrant, leading to her rise to the top as vice-admiral in Starfleet Command. The woman who travelled further than any human ever had before, stranded decades from home, encountering new worlds and species and overcoming one of Starfleet's greatest threats - the Borg - on their own remote and hostile territory.
