Media Reviews

A fascinating look at the exploits of one of pop culture's greatest and most wonderfully flawed heroes - Pop Culture Vulture

Looking for the perfect holiday gift for the Trek fan in your life? This might just be it...A fantastic book. - Nerdophiles

Another great touch was the addition of editor's notes throughout the narrative that lent a feeling of verisimilitude to the pages of the book. Little things that Kirk gets wrong in the book that are corrected by the editor make this feel like a real autobiography. Also, a full color insert of pictures in the middle of the book from Kirk's life, including his Academy graduation photo and travel documents to Tarsus IV, lend even more credibility. - Trekcore

The Autobiography of James T. Kirk is a wonderful addition to the stories of the fabled captain who sat in that center seat aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise for longer than any other leader in Starfleet history. - The News Hub
