Another demonstration of the intelligence and imagination of the Star Trek fans

Published in 1986, the twenty-year anniversary of the debut of Star Trek, this collection of material from Trek magazine covers all manifestations of the phenomenon. Coverage includes the original series, the animated series, the first three feature films and a significant amount of the books, including novels. Everything from fan surveys to speculation on social structure of the worlds of Star Trek is included. Some of the articles are: *) Vulcan As a Meritocracy - this continues the speculative thread as to whether the social structure of Vulcan is patriarchal, matriarchal or something in between. *) One More Time: Time Travel in Star Trek - an examination of the role time travel has played as a plot device in Star Trek. *) The Star Trek Films: Variations and Vexations - scene-by-scene description of differences between the three Star Trek films, most often additions, when they appeared in the theater as opposed to on television. *) The Neglected Whole - or "Never Heard of You" - in this article detailed descriptions of the lives of minor female characters in the series is given. The featured players are Penda Uhura, Janice Rand and Christine Chapel. *) Trek Roundtable - Letters from Readers - a few letters written by intelligent followers of Star Trek. In this book, the fans of Star Trek demonstrate once again that they are intelligent, imaginative and flexible in their thoughts. It makes you wish that everyone in the world were a fan of Star Trek.
