George Takei has captured hearts and minds worldwide with his
captivating stage presence and outspoken commitment to equal
rights. But long before he braved new frontiers in Star Trek, he
woke up as a fouryearold boy to find his own birth country at war
with his father's and their entire family forced from their home
into an uncertain future. In 1942, at the order of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt, every person of Japanese descent on the west
coast was rounded up and shipped to one of ten "relocation
centers," hundreds or thousands of miles from home, where they
would be held for years under armed guard. They Called Us Enemy is
Takei's firsthand account of those years behind barbed wire, the
joys and terrors of growing up under legalized racism, his mother's
hard choices, his father's faith in democracy, and the way those
experiences planted the seeds for his astonishing future. What is
American? Who gets to decide? When the world is against you, what
can one person do? To answer these questions, George Takei joins
cowriters Justin Eisinger & Steven Scott and artist Harmony
Becker for the journey of a lifetime.

For their fourth big-screen outing the crew of the USS Enterprise
abandon their usual 23rd century time frame for Earth in the year
1986. In order to save the planet from a rogue space probe in the
future, Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Bones
(DeForest Kelley) and co must travel back to the twentieth century
to find the only creature capable of communicating with it: a
whale. The story is given comic treatment - Spock hides his Vulcan
ears with a headband and poses as a burnt-out hippy, while the
normally intrepid Kirk gets lost on a bus.
