About this ebook
"Essential reading for any Star Trek and movie fan."
-trekmovie.com
When Nicholas Meyer was asked to direct the troubled second Star Trek film, he was something less than a true believer. A bestselling author and successful director, he had never been a fan of the TV series. But as he began to ponder the appeal of Kirk, Spock, et al., he realized that their story was a classical nautical adventure yarn transplanted into space and-armed with that insight-set out on his mission: to revitalize Trek.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. We Trekkies will forever be grateful for
Meyer's saving Trek with The Wrath of Khan, but it is the humble tale of a
modest rise through Hollywood that makes this book so enjoyable.

I was given this book in film school and loved it! Meyer's tales from behind the camera are thrilling and encouraging. This is a great read for more than just Star Trek fans and movie buffs.
