| | | A living pop culture legend and one of American film and television's most enduring stars, William Shatner will forever be associated with the role of James T. Kirk, captain of the starship "Enterprise." "Star Trek Memories" is Shatner's classic behind-the-scenes look at the legendary series that continues to put forth movies, books, and series spin-offs decades after the last episode aired. A television phenomenon that suffered from shaky ratings from its first broadcast in 1966 through its entire run, "Star Trek" nevertheless exploded into a worldwide, billion-dollar industry. Avid Trekkers who were onboard at the launch, as well as fans of the later Trek incarnations, will be delighted with this eye-opening, eminently fascinating "captain's log" from James Kirk himself.
| Author Bio| William Shatner | | Whatever one might think about William Shatner, the one thing that everyone will always remember about him is that he was James T. Kirk, captain of the "U.S.S. Enterprise" on the TV show STAR TREK. His performance as the skirt-chasing flyboy has led to countless homages and parodies. While he is primarily known as an actor, he has written several accounts of his life on the set of the long-syndicated show, some of the numerous STAR TREK spin-off novels, and his own original series, including the popular Tek books--which have been made into TV movies and on which he has occasionally appeared. He has also recorded an album of songs, which includes a well-known and truly nightmarish version of "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds," among other gems of ill-conceived vocalization. |
