"Breathtaking in scope and depth, this [uncensored oral history] is a must-read for
Star Trek lovers" (
Booklist, starred review).


The original
Star Trek series debuted in 1966 and has spawned five TV series spin-offs and more than a dozen feature films.
The Fifty-Year Mission is a no-holds-barred oral history of five decades of
Star Trek, told by the people who were there. Full of behind-the-scenes detail and surprising revelations, it is the unauthorized, uncensored, and unbelievable true story behind the making of a pop culture phenomenon.



In their own words, hundreds of television and film executives, programmers, writers, creators and cast members unveil the oftentimes shocking story of
Star Trek's pioneering vision, constant reinvention, and ever-expanding universe -- an epic saga that spans from the classic series to the animated show.



More than just a book for
Star Trek fans,
The Fifty-Year Mission is for all fans of pop culture and anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of a television touchstone.
