Publisher Description

This is the true story behind the making of a television legend. There have been many books written about Star Trek, but never with the unprecedented access, insight and candor of authors Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross. Having covered the franchise for over three decades, they’ve assembled the ultimate guide to a television classic.

The Fifty-Year Mission: Volume Two is an incisive, no-holds-barred oral history telling the story of post-Original Series Star Trek, told exclusively by the people who were there, in their own words—sharing the inside scoop they’ve never told before—unveiling the oftentimes shocking true story of the history of Star Trek and chronicling the trials, tribulations—and tribbles—that have remained deeply buried secrets... until now.

The Fifty-Year Mission: Volume Two includes the voices of hundreds television and film executives, programmers, writers, creators, and cast, who span from the beloved The Next Generation and subsequent films through its spin-offs: Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, as well J.J. Abrams’ reimagined film series.

Eye opening!

No matter how it is revealed, in this book or the previous one, I loved getting to know what was behind the curtain on the creation and making of all the Trek shows and movies; good, bad or otherwise. Such revelations!

Would I like to believe it was easier all the way around for each and every step? Of course! Do I love any of the shows, movies any less, or more? Lest we tread on wishes to prevail, it would not be realistic to think that a swift jaunt around the sun and a whisper to those in power would change anything. In that, there seems blame to be made for some decisions!

I have a greater respect for what is in the overall vault and a feeling of sadness for some things missed out on, even though only mentioned as general outlines.

These books touch on the fandom and how it is believed to continue on as without fail. However, the country’s political clime and pandemic is such that it will truly test the world’s resolve to overcome and hope for ANY future worthy of a Star Trek global society. This real-life chapter of humanity will be a great challenge to endure. May this footnote on our humanity be championed by those who believe in the powerful vision of such a Star Trek society.
