Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

This new version of the Star Trek Encyclopedia is a reissue of the 1997 edition, plus a 128-page supplement of additional material that updates Deep Space Nine to the end of its run and Voyager to midway through season five. It also covers the movie Star Trek: Insurrection. The supplement is as meticulously detailed as the rest of the volume, listing such fascinating trivia as chadre kab (Seven of Nine's first meal), 'Kahless and Lukara' (a Klingon opera), and voraxna (a Cardassian poison), as well as all the new characters and species. Appendices include illustrations of starships, cast and crew listings, a historical timeline, and a bibliography. All photographs and illustrations (except for a few historical shots) are in color. The encyclopedia was devised in part to help production staff on the various Star Trek TV series to keep up with the ever-increasing level of detail generated by over 30 years of creative effort. It is an excellent reference volume and, whether you want to settle an argument or write a novel, this book will answer your questions. But beware: the extensive cross-referencing leads to curious time-distortion effects, in which the unwary reader, dipping in to settle a single query, encounters an irresistible urge to browse further, during which hours of normal time can pass in the wink of an eye. --Elizabeth Sourbut

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for any Star Trek fan, Dec 18 2005
By Jim Poon - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Star Trek Encyclopedia: A Reference Guide to the Future (Updated and Expanded Edition) (Paperback)
I received this book as a gift and I can definitely say that this is an excellent book for any Star Trek fan. It has all the information that you want to know about a specific Star Trek character even if the character only made a few appearances (like Ensign Ro from Star Trek The Next Generation). Not only does it cover the characters from Star Trek but it also covers the different aliens, spaceships, weapons, etc. from the world of Star Trek. This is an excellent reference book for any Star Trek fan and I'm sure that all Star Trek fans will enjoy receiving this book as a gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but alittle outdated!, May 12 2004
By Marvin Arnold (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Star Trek Encyclopedia: A Reference Guide to the Future (Updated and Expanded Edition) (Paperback)
This was the greatest book other than the bible, but that was in 1999. It's 2004 and I want an update. Their so much that has happened since and it won't even include all the books written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trekkies Rejoice!, May 4 2004
By M. Butrick "bambirambino47" (Connecticut, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Star Trek Encyclopedia: A Reference Guide to the Future (Updated and Expanded Edition) (Paperback)
I bought this for my husband (then boyfriend) about four years ago. Since then, he has turned me into a Trekkie. This book is WONDERFUL for proving who's right when we get into a discussion about an episode, and it's so easy to read! Not like an ordinary Encyclopedia, this one is actually readable, and an entertaining read, too! A MUST for any Trekkie!

4.0 out of 5 stars Informative
A very informative book on the Star Trek universe. However, I did spot one major error, regarding a character called Steth in the ST VOY episode, "Vis-A-Vis".
