Synopsis

This is the true story behind the making of a television legend. There have been many books written about Star Trek, but never with the unprecedented access, insight and candor of authors Mark A. Altman and Edward Gross. The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years is an incisive, no-holds-barred oral history telling the story of post Original Series Star Trek, told exclusively by the people who were there, in their own words - sharing the inside scoop they've never told before - unveiling the oftentimes shocking true story of the history of Star Trek and chronicling the trials, tribulations - and tribbles - that have remained deeply buried secrets...until now. The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years includes the voices of hundreds television and film executives, programmers, writers, creators, and cast, who span from the beloved The Next Generation and subsequent films through its spin-offs: Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, as well J.J. Abrams's film series, including this summer's Star Trek Beyond.

Media Reviews

The oral history of the Star Trek franchise boldly continues. Writer and producer Altman and Gross who did a terrific job in their first volume, have once again meticulously selected and chronologically arranged a massive number of comments from more than 200 people involved in the TV shows and movies. --Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The Fifty-Year Mission: The First 25 Years

Breathtaking in scope and depth, this is a must-read for Star Trek lovers as well as anyone who wants a better understanding of how television and film production works. --Booklist, starred review

An absolute must for any Star Trek fan. --Kirkus Reviews

As a lifelong fan, I thought I knew everything there was to know about Star Trek. Thankfully, I was wrong. Thanks to revealing, honest and -- dare I say it? -- fascinating interviews from the insiders who were really there, The Fifty-Year Mission is an epic tome that's full of so much fantastic information, I felt like I was discovering the incredible behind-the-scenes story of Star Trek (and Hollywood, for that matter) all over again. It's a page-turner in every sense of the word, and I could not put it down. --Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood
