Ships of the Line (Hardcover)

In celebration of one of science fiction's most beloved franchises,
an updated edition of the acclaimed "Ships of the Line" hardcover
collection.
They dared to risk it all in a skiff of reeds or leather, on a ship
of wood or steel, knowing the only thing between them and certain
death was their ship. To explore, to seek out what lay beyond the
close and comfortable, every explorer had to embrace danger. And as
they did so, what arose was a mystical bond, a passion for the
ships that carried them. From the very first time humans dared to
warp the fabric of space, escaping from the ashes of the third
World War, they also created ships. These vessels have become the
icons of mankind's desire to rise above the everyday, to seek out
and make the unknown known. And these ships that travel the stellar
seas have stirred the same passions as the ones that floated in the
oceans.
While every captain has wished that their starship could be
outfitted in the same manner as the sailing ship "H.M.S.
Beagle--"without weapons--that proved untenable. From the start,
Starfleet realized that each vessel, due to the limited range of
the early warp engines, must be able to stand alone against any
attack. Thus arose the idea, taken from the days of wooden sailing
ships, that every Starfleet vessel must stand as a ship of the
line. Through the actions of their captains and crews, countless
starships have taken on that role. Here we remember some of those
ships and their heroic crews.
In celebration of one of science fiction's most beloved franchises,
this updated edition of the acclaimed "Ships of the Line" hardcover
collection now includes more than seventy-five additional images
brought together for the first time in book format--spectacular
renderings featured in the highly successful "Star Trek: Ships of
the Line" calendar series. With text by "Star Trek"'s own Michael
Okuda, the story of each of these valiant starships now comes to
life.
