Description:

> **The Biography of the Leading Science Fiction TV Program** > > STAR TREK! The long, hard battle of television's first tentative step > toward adult science fiction, with the complete story of how the *U.S.S. > Enterprise* was designed, her weaponry, equipment and power > resources, the original concept behind the show, how the continuity is > maintained, backgrounds of the characters, biographies of the stars, > and pictures, diagrams, illustrations -- the whole authentic history. Although Gene Roddenberry is listed as a co-author, the book was written by Whitfield. Roddenberry's only contribution seems to be the lyrics to the Star Trek Theme on page 7.
