Description:

"The level of research is astounding ... an incredible job ... The reviews are wonderful and well deserved." – Leonard Nimoy.

"The definitive look at the original series hadn't been written - until now. An exhaustive, episode-by-episode history." – Jeff Bond, Geek Magazine

"The best book ever written on Star Trek!" – Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood.

"Trek fans will die and get beamed up to heaven!" – Billy Heller, New York Post.

"Everything there is to know about TOS Season One. A great read! I guarantee it!" – Walter Koenig.

In the 1980s Gene Roddenberry and Robert H. Justman gave Marc Cushman permission to write the definitive history of the first Star Trek. They backed their stamp of approval by providing documentation never before shared with the public. These are the Voyages, published in three volumes - one designated for each season of TOS - will take you back in time and put you into the producers' offices, the writers' room, onto the soundstages, and in front of your TV sets for the first historic broadcasts. Included are hundreds of memos between Roddenberry and his staff, production schedules, budgets, fan letters, behind-the-scenes images, and the TV ratings, documenting the making of each episode of the "Classic 79" in staggering detail. Buckle your seat belts, the trek of a lifetime begins here.
