HOW ENTERTAINMENT BECOMES LEGEND

The phenomenal success of Star Trek inspired two spectacular spin-offs, both of which have gone on to join the ranks of the most-watched television shows of all time.

This unauthorized guidebook, two complete volumes in one, examines both of these shows in fascinating detail – the characters and the creators, the episodes behind the episodes, the actors, the make-up artists, the special-effect geniuses and the voyages that landed on the cutting room floor.

This complete guidebook to The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine is more than just a reference book. It is a behind-the-scenes look at how a success story continues.

Author James Van Hise, considered by many to be the world’s leading Star Trek expert, is also known for his work as editor of Midnight Graffiti magazine, where he brought to public attention such authors as Stephen King and Harlan Ellison.
