How well do you know Star Trek? Lifelong science fiction fan, podcaster and author Tom Salinsky decided that the answer was “not well enough”, and so at the beginning of 2022, he embarked on a two-year mission to watch everything from the start of The Original Series to the end of Enterprise, at the rate of one episode per day. This book is the second part of that odyssey, covering Deep Space Nine, and the first two seasons of Voyager plus the first two Next Generation movies. As well as having fun saluting the show’s triumphs, cringing at its lapses in taste, and admiring its willingness to swing for the fences, there’s lots of fascinating behind-the-scenes information here. Was Morn really such a chatterbox? Why was Deep Space Nine allowed to do so much serialisation? Did Star Trek need Michael Dorn more than Michael Dorn needed Star Trek? Just whatever happened to Geneviève Bujold? How is Nicholas Locarno related to Tom Paris? But you’ll also get the benefit of a complete overview of these hugely successful and beloved spin-offs, which expanded and extended the Star Trek universe to new quadrants, new eras and new modes of storytelling. Plus there are contributions from notable fans, writers, authors and experts, giving their own perspectives on these classic episodes. Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a casual viewer, or just someone interested in the history of television, you’ll adore coming on this daily journey though the highs and lows of one of the most significant and much-loved media properties in the world. **Praise for Volume I: ****The Original Series, The Animated Series and The Next Generation** “Funny, absorbing, perceptive and a fine reminder of the wealth of work that Star Trek has produced through the decades.” – Critical Popcorn “Even if you’re not the world’s biggest Star Trek fan, the way this book is written will certainly keep you entertained.” – Total Entertainment “Whether you're a devoted aficionado or a casual viewer, this book offers an immersive experience.” – Kuriositas.com “An honest labour of love from a lifelong sci-fi specialist, and even gives the episodes that fail a fair hearing.” – Lou Reviews
