    New Star Trek Book: “Phasers on Stun!: How the Making–and Remaking–of Star Trek Changed the World”

     

    Phasers on Stun!: How the Making–and Remaking–of Star Trek Changed the World by has been added to the Star Trek Book Club!

    Written with inside access, comprehensive research, and a down-to-earth perspective, Phasers on Stun! chronicles the entire history of Star Trek, revealing that its enduring place in pop culture is all thanks to innovative pivots and radical change.

    For over five decades, the heart of Star Trek’s pro-science, anti-racist, and inclusive messaging has been its willingness to take big risks. Across thirteen feature films, and twelve TV series—including five shows currently airing or in production—the brilliance of Star Trek is in its endless ability to be rethought, rebooted, and remade.

    Author and Star Trek expert Ryan Britt charts an approachable and entertaining course through Star Trek history; from its groundbreaking origins amid the tumultuous 1960s, to its influence on diversifying the space program, to its contemporary history-making turns with LGBTQ+ representation, this book illuminates not just the behind-the-scenes stories that shaped the franchise but the larger meaning of the Final Frontier.

    Featuring over 100 exclusive interviews with actors and writers across all the generations, including Walter Koenig, LeVar Burton, Dorothy Fontana, Brent Spiner, Ronald D. Moore, Jeri Ryan, and many more, Britt gets the inside story on all things Trek, like Spock’s evolution from red devil to the personification of logical empathy, the near failure to launch of The Next Generation in 1987, and how Trekkie outrage has threatened to destroy the franchise more than once. The book also dives deep with creators like Michael Chabon (co-creator of Star Trek: Picard) and Nicholas Meyer (director, The Wrath of Khan). These interviews extend to the bleeding edge of contemporary Star Trek, from Discovery to Picard to Lower Decks, and even the upcoming highly anticipated 2022 series, Strange New Worlds.

    For fans who know every detail of each Enterprise bridge, to a reader who has never seen a single minute of any Star Trek, this book aims to entertain, inform, and energize. Through humor, insight, archival research, and unique access, this journey through the Star Trek universe isn’t just about its past but a definitive look at its future.

    Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection #180 Borg Cube

    Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection #180 Borg Cube

    This is the final issue of the series, it’s hard to believe that I’ve been a subscriber for as long as I have, nearly 10 years! There’s still about 7 ships that Eaglemoss has been unable to ship to me for whatever reason, so I look forward to getting those one day, either through Eaglemoss or through alternative vendors. Of course there’s a large and still growing “bonus issue” collection that they’re still adding to, but I think I’m done with the series for the time being, outside of the afore mentioned ones that they’re still trying to find in a warehouse for me.

    How did this final issue go? Well, this is a great example of how the collection itself was, lots of totally pointless re-issues with moderately mild cosmetic changes, I believe this is my 4th Borg ship, this time it’s the one specifically from the “First Contact” movie. The model itself is fine and it’ll look great with the other Borg ships, but the magazine might as well have been a picture book with how minimal the written information was in it.

    I’ve never once set up the 170+ ships that I have from this collection in one place, I don’t think I even have the space for it anywhere in my home, but one day when I hit the lottery (that I don’t play) and I build my own McMansion, I’ll have a totally sweet display museum for all these silly ships.

    Star Trek makes an appearance on the “Locus Bestsellers” list for January 2022


    The Locus Bestsellers for January include top titles The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik (Del Rey), Dune by Frank Herbert (Ace), and Star Wars Visions: Ronin by Emma Mieko Candon (Del Rey).

    This is the first time I’ve seen Trek on a best seller list in a long while and not only is Trek on the list, but it’s on there twice:

    MEDIA & GAMING RELATED
    #2 Star Trek: Coda: The Ashes of Tomorrow, James Swallow (Gallery)
    #4 Star Trek: Coda: Moments Asunder, Dayton Ward (Gallery)

    Both books are fantastic, though it would have been extremely satisfying to see the third Coda book on the list as well.
