Editorial Reviews
Review
'Hark provides an expert guide to the Trek universe, from the egos of its creators...to the most recent franchises, which inevitably fall short of the original series.' - The Guardian 'With some intriguing textual analysis and an engaging style, this is a useful addition to the canon of work that examines the show.' - Laurence Boyce, Netribution 'The ample illustrations and Hark's approachable prose make Star Trek not only accessible, but impossible to put down. This text is essential for devoted Trekkers...The perfect guide for cultural studies students, science fiction devotees, and, of course, Star Trek fans everywhere.' - Ian Randal Strock, SFScope
Product Description
Star Trek remains the original, iconic and, for its many fans, the best example of science fiction television, boldly going where no TV drama had gone before. Ina Rae Hark’s lively and authoritative account of the five series – from the original Star Trek to its most recent manifestation, ‘Enterprise’ – provides a comprehensive guide to the Trek universe and its key themes.
Hark carefully delineates the unique characteristics of each series, from Star Trek’s depiction of humanity confronting technological and evolutionary change, to The Next Generation’s diplomatic efforts to secure its perfected utopia for others, Deep Space Nine’s interrogation of the claims of that utopia in a hostile, alien environment, Voyager’s testing of Starfleet principles light years away from the Federation’s borders, and Enterprise’s look back at humankind’s first efforts to forge an intergalactic alliance. Hark explores the character dynamics of each captain and his or her crew.
As well as offering new insights for even the most hardcore Trekker, this volume also provides a perfect introduction to a popular culture phenomenon for those few who have never heard of a phaser or a Klingon.
