Through four decades, five television series comprising over seven
hundred episodes, ten feature films, and an animated series,
fandom's thirst for more Star Trek stories has been unquenchable.
From the earliest short-story adaptations by James Blish in the
1960s, followed by the first original Star Trek novels during the
seventies, and on throughout the eighties, nineties, and into the
twenty-first century, fiction has offered an unparalleled expansion
of the rich Star Trek tapestry. But what is it that makes these
books such a powerfully attractive creative outlet to some and a
compelling way to experience the Star Trek mythos anew to others?
Voyages of Imagination takes a look back on the first forty years
of professionally published Star Trek fiction, revealing the
personalities and sensibilities of many of the novels' imaginative
contributors and offering an unprecedented glimpse into the
creative processes, the growing pains, the risks, the innovations,
the missteps, and the great strides taken in the books. Author Jeff
Ayers has immersed himself in nearly six hundred books and
interviewed more than three hundred authors and editors in order to
compile this definitive guide to the history and evolution of an
incomparable publishing phenomenon. Fully illustrated with the
covers of every book included herein, Voyages of Imagination is
indexed by title and author, features a comprehensive timeline, and
is a must-have for every fan.
