In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the classic show, a fully authorized revision of the popular reference companion: a two-volume encyclopedia featuring a completely new design, stunning new full-color photographs and illustrations, and 300 pages of new entries, packaged in a specially designed and shrink-wrapped deluxe slipcase.

When it debuted in 1966, the Star Trek series quickly became a pop culture phenomenon, inspiring six spin-off series and thirteen films&;including Star Trek Beyond, opening July 22, 2016&;as well as books, comics, games, toys, and more. One of the largest franchises of all time, Star Trek&;s overall box office revenue totals more than $1.93 billion to date.

Since it&;s initial publication twenty-five years ago, The Star Trek Encyclopedia has been the go-to source for everything related to the franchise&;s canon. Packed with highly detailed information, including brief episode and film synopses, no other book has come close to offering the same wealth of insight into the Star Trek universe. Now, The Star Trek Encyclopedia has been thoroughly revised and redesigned for a new generation of fans. This updated and expanded edition includes 300 more pages, information, photographs and illustrations, and offers exhaustively researched and detailed entries on the characters, ships, and events from the last fifteen years of Star Trek television shows and films, including Star Trek: Voyager seasons 4-7, Star Trek: Enterprise seasons 1-4, and Star Trek Nemesis. It also features material detailing the recent big-screen films Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek: Into Darkness.

Packaged in a stunning deluxe slipcase, this two-volume set is a must-have for every Star Trek fan&;s library.

Inutile, a voler esser gentili...

Recensito in Italia il 21 gennaio 2022

Una mattonata di libro che racchiude il vuoto pneumatico assoluto, anziché enciclopedia di Star Trek avrebbero dovuto intitolarlo piuttosto "dizionario enciclopedico della PRODUZIONE televisiva/cinematografica di Star Trek" perché di questo si tratta: una sequela infinita di lemmi di ogni singolo personaggio/attore, ambiente o prop apparso nelle varie serie TV/film, la fiera del pleonastico e del lapalissiano anche perché chi ha visto Star Trek con i propri occhi non ha bisogno che gli venga ricordato cosa ha fatto chi in quale episodio, né quante volte un dato setting o un modellino sia stato adoperato per le riprese perché purtroppo È TUTTO QUI quello che questo volume ha da dire.

Per "enciclopedia" uno si aspetterebbe (o almeno IO me lo aspettavo) una disquisizione più approfondita sui vari aspetti della "fisica" e della "tecnologia", nonché i dati sui mondi, le specie aliene e le astronavi e magari anche le biografie dei personaggi principali/più influenti nella "storia" della Federazione di Star Trek come se si trattasse, per l'appunto di una VERA enciclopedia.

E qui, di tutto questo, non c'è assolutamente traccia persino quando si parla delle varie Enterprises o di quei capisaldi della serie come le armi Phaser, ci viene semplicemente detto perché e percome la produzione scelse di farle così e cosà, in quale episodio/i appaiono e quante cavolo di volte sono state usate prima che la nuova produzione decidesse di introdurre un nuovo modello.
Deprimente a dir poco!

There is a lot of information in this book covering a diverse range of topics. It’s useful for times when you are pretty sure you know something from the series but want to make sure. Devoted fans of the franchise will probably already know verything covered and probably in more detail if you can’t remember when and in what town Prichard was born the answers are here to impress you other fan boy friends

Comparing the New (2016) Edition with the Previous Ones

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 23 ottobre 2016

Acquisto verificato

I received my copy of the latest (2016) edition of The Star Trek Encyclopedia today. I own the previous three editions and, after looking over this revised and expanded version, I can make a few observations about how it compares to its predecessors.

First of all, you are getting a huge amount of additional material as this edition covers the rest of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager as well as the entirety of Star Trek: Enterprise and the three movies since the prior edition (Nemesis, Star Trek (2009), and Star Trek Into Darkness). There are no articles concerning material from Star Trek Beyond (2016), though, which sort of makes the book already out of date. But I don't mind, both because I'm not crazy about the Kelvin Timeline movies and because a book about an ongoing franchise is bound to have trouble keeping up.

As to the material about the Kelvin Timeline, I was surprised to find it integrated into the body of the encyclopedia. The early press release about this edition seemed to suggest that the "Abrams Trek" material would be contained in an Appendix section, separate from the other entries. Instead, Kelvin material is found alongside Prime Timeline stuff, but with separate, parallel articles differentiated by a dot after the entry name. For instance, there are separate entries for "Spock" (prime timeline) and "Spock*" (Kelvin Timeline).

The encyclopedia is beautifully laid out inside, although the text is smaller than the prior edition. Illustrations are more numerous and sometimes new. For example, every one of the entries about episodes is accompanied by a picture from the episode. Many of the diagrams of starships have been updated to a CGI-looking image which better captures subtle textures and lighting effects than the older illustrations. The "Remastered" version of The Original Series makes its presence felt as images of ships we never saw in the original version of the show (like Harry Mudd's ship) are illustrated with the remastered series' designs.

As to the level of detail in the articles, I noticed that articles about more recent Trek productions (such as Enterprise and the reboot movies) were longer and more in-depth (perhaps irritatingly so) than entries about earlier productions, which are mainly holdovers from the earlier editions. Like the previous editions, you will find appendices (at the end of Volume Two) for Federation/Earth Ships, Ships of the Galaxy, timelines of historical events in the Trek universe and of Star Trek production, Writer and Director Credits for all Trek TV episodes and movies except Beyond and The Animated Series (there are also no encyclopedia entries about TAS, which is not considered canon), and a Cast Appendix. Absent from this edition, however, is the appendix of production personnel, which the previous two editions included. This was slightly disappointing. Also, the appendices showing the different Federation/Earth ships and ships of the galaxy no longer show the illustrations at approximate scale. This is a plus or a minus depending on how you look at it.

In sum, this is a great reference for fans of Star Trek. It doesn't have entries for *everything* in Trek (I couldn't find the alien race called the "Harada" mentioned in TNG or "Admiral Fitzpatrick" from "The Trouble with Tribbles."), but it has enough!

The much anticipated revised edition of the definitive guidebook to the Star Trek universe

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 3 dicembre 2016

Acquisto verificato

“Ever since 1999, one of the questions we've heard most from fans has been, “When will there be a new edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia?”” - Authors introduction.

I have been a huge fan of the Star Trek universe for almost three decades now. Fortunately for me, the formative years of my love affair with the franchise coincided with both The Next Generation's popularity making a beeline for the stratosphere as well as the flashpoint for the release of dozens of coffee table and reference guidebooks; and I was hot on the tail of every single release.

Arguably the most significant publication for me was that of the original Star Trek Encyclopedia authored by the Okudas and Debbie Mirek in 1994. I was instantly taken by how well the authors had presented the many facets of the Star Trek universe in that volume and I studied the many illustrations contained within (rendered in greyscale or black and white!) to death, reproducing them over and over again, be it by pencil or paint program on my Atari ST! Ah, simpler times (haha!!).
Also, this volume was so much more than a simple A to Z guidebook; most of the entries in the Encyclopedia were fully cross-referenced: For example, reading an entry about the Enterprise-D would no doubt inform you that Dr Leah Brahms had a hand in designing its warp engines; the text for Leah Brahms would be emboldened to indicate to the reader that there was more to learn about that character in her own entry elsewhere in the book. - Not unlike how you'd use Wikipedia, but remember this was 1994.

That 1994 edition only offered us entries that were relevant from the pilot episodes of the classic series, through the first six feature films and through to the end of season 6 of Next Gen. and if I recall correctly there was a sniff of Deep Space Nine's first season. So yes, the book was immediately out of date, but ultimately that didn't matter; history records that we were to be gifted with the opportunity of purchasing a full colour, freshly illustrated expanded masterpiece in 1997 and then a slightly topped up edition of that in 1999.

Turn the page to 2016; it's been what, 17 years since that last release. There has been so much more Trek history televised beyond that which had been catalogued in that '99 edition of the Encyclopedia and like many fans, I too was begging for an updated release.
Then mere weeks into 2016, both startrek.com and trekcore.com confirmed that the Okudas had indeed been working on a new edition and that it was available for pre-order. This was finally happening, so at the first available opportunity I submitted my pre-order to Amazon for what promised to be the most comprehensive showcase of the Star Trek universe ever published; rest assured, it delivers.
This book consists of two hard back volumes with the number of pages totalling upwards of a thousand, all housed within a substantial cardboard sleeve; what will surprise you when you first get your hands on it is the realisation of just how heavy it is! The main body of the Encyclopedia is everything that the prior editions were only... well, lots more of it... Every 'live-action' episode and the 12 feature films are dissected, referenced and cross-referenced in intricate detail. Prior to receiving it I was especially curious as to how they were going to tie in all the 'alternate timeline' entries from the Abrams-verse; their solution was simple and doesn't actually interfere with the context of all that was established prior to the new films in any way.

Any downsides? - Very few but to me they are completely eclipsed by the incredible achievement that this body of work represents and make no mistake, this is an achievement. I've tried my hand at writing one of these for the Babylon 5 universe using the Star Trek Encyclopedia as mentor and guide. To catalogue all the constituent detail in a series (and commit to doing it the best that you can) is not a mission you can undertake lightly; chipping away at it little by little almost every night, mine took me around six years to complete.

But I'll offer you the following:

As with the prior editions, you will not find the animated series of Star Trek referenced in this latest edition. Having been accustomed to this choice by the authors in the prior editions I was not at all surprised, nor was I all that put out.

What did disappoint me a little was that the appendices in this latest edition no longer includes a directory of production personnel, which for what is supposed to be the definitive issue of this encyclopedia should have really been built upon ALL that came before it and yet the authors opted to lift that section. I can only speculate that the Okudas had more than maxed out their allowable page limit during the drafting process and were thus offered a choice: Either edit out the directory of production personnel or compromise on the main body of the work; obviously they chose the former, which is fair enough in my opinion.

There was a handful of pages in both volumes that had red ink splatter on the pages as though the volumes were bound before the print had a chance to dry. Let me impress upon you that this is a thousand-plus page book so I can shrug off a few minor artefacts, but the fanboy in me does take a measure of pride in my library of Trek books, some of which are more than 25 years old; most, if not all are in mint or near-mint condition.

The cover art on these two volumes is really cool with pictures of what is arguably Star Trek's most recognisable icons fronting backdrops of matt and gloss (subtly embossed), the detailing being somewhat reminiscent of the circuit panels you'd glimpse on the Enterprise-D or Voyager; it's pretty gorgeous. I really do like that the publishers decided to house these two volumes together in a single sleeve, but it does hold them pretty damned secure. I'm wary of repeatedly removing the volumes from the sleeve and putting them back, over and over; i'm suspicious that it could result in scratches and scuffs on the hardbacks over the long term.

And this is a cheap shot but... Obviously with the release of the 2016 Star Trek film: “Star Trek Beyond”, the suggestion that a 4th JJ-Trek film is on the cards and of course the arrival of the new television series “Star Trek: Discovery” due for release next year, this definitive edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia is already out of date... But really, who cares? - I know some do; but they really shouldn't!

To the Okudas I say, I fricken love this thing. Well done! Now, hows about an updated edition of the Chronology? ;)
