Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This is a must-have 10th anniversary tribute for all Star Trek: Next Generation fans. An episode guide walks you through all seven seasons of TNG, in a behind-the-scenes context full of fascinating facts, design sketches, backstage photos, and intimate cast and crew stories. Two more great sections unveil the making of the movies in which the Next Generation cast was featured: Generations, First Contact and Insurrection. Having all this in one place lets you see the detailed evolution of the series--Deanna Troi's uniforms, Data's emotions, Riker's beard--in great illustrations and amusing anecdotes. It's a nostalgic trip down the space lanes, and an enticing look at what might be ahead for our Next Generation heroes.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, Dedicated, Essential - A Fine Tribute to TNG
    Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2001
    Format: Paperback
    This book is essential reading for any Star Trek fan. Even if you may not be a big fan of TNG (I myself prefer DS9), this beautiful tribute will surely improve your understanding of the days before, during, and after the creation of TNG series.
    The text is written in a very amiable, intimate and lively manner, obviously showing the authors' love and dedication to the TNG world. Content-wise, the book is utterly fascinating: there is everything from the stories behind the casting ("But he's bald!"), to the creation and incarnations of the spacecraft of the show, to interesting anecdotes both clever and funny, highlighting special episodes, audience reaction, notes on production; even clear and non-technical explanations of various financial aspects of producing TNG and the movies. Absolutely nothing comes across as overly technical.
    The book is divided into chapters tracing each season and movie involving TNG cast; each "season" also includes episode-by-episode synopses by the side - very helpful not just as an episode guide, but as a way of guiding the reader throughout the TNG journey. In fact, one of the best things about this book is its strong sense of chronological unity - reading the book from front to back, you are surely and rapturously guided through the entire TNG history - it feels like getting to know an old friend anew.
    The book is made even better by the tons of colour photos throughout - ranging from pictures of props to sets, to ships, production designs, cast, scenes, costumes, production... it's just fantastic.
    A lot of intelligence and dedication has gone into producing this book. I really can't praise it enough except to say: now I admire Star Trek: The Next Generation even more.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you own one book about TNG, let this be it.
    Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2002
    Format: Paperback
    First of all, this book is huge. Really. It is tall and wide as well as being hefty. It does the amazing task of covering 7+ years of television history regarding the show responsible for renewed interest in science-fiction.
    The history is indeed an interesting one. Many tidbits are revealed, and if you are a trivia junkie, it will fill the endless void nicely.
    The pictures are great, as well as commentary and brief interviews of folks. The only thing I felt that could have been done better were episode summaries. They fell by the wayside a bit; but the sheer volume of information contained in the book makes up for it.
    It is well-constructed, and has lasted repeated flipping and reading. That and its size make it an excellent coffee table book. People who have no interest in Trek pick it up and are fascinated by the information. It makes a great gift, for yourself or the TNG fan in your life. Or even, the television trivia buff as well.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Tribute
    Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2001
    Format: Paperback
    This book is something special in that it combines the usual prose of a "Making of..." with a wealth of large-size images and illustrations as well as a detailed guide to the seven seasons of TNG. Included are sections on "Generations", "First Contact" and, in the newest edition, "Insurrection". Although some of the images are already known from The Art of Star Trek, this is another great look behind the scenes. More than the rather loosely arranged images in the The Art of Star Trek, this book really tells the story of a series that is developed through seven seasons.
    The Continuing Mission is probably the best book about TNG with all of its aspects. It was obviously written to be entertaining in the first place, so it never gets too profound. Nevertheless, we learn a great deal, for instance, where Guinan's name comes from, how many writers mingled together the script for "Yesterday's Enterprise", or how a shuttle may become a big starship. The only slight criticism I have about it is that the text is mostly separate from the images. Although there are captions, I would have liked to know more about several of the images.
    The sub-title of the book is "A Tenth Anniversary Tribute", and it is a worthy tribute in any respect.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive
    Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2001
    Format: Paperback
    This book takes you practically day by day through the creation and evolution of Star Trek: The Next Generation. You'll learn about the controversy surrounding adding the character of Worf. You'll find out the serious budget problems in the first seasons, which almost strangled the show. And it even details the process developing Star Trek: Insurrection. All the while enjoying a tresure vault of photos and drawings. If you enjoy behind the scenes and your Star Trek history then The Continuing Mission : A Tenth Anniversary Tribute is perfect for you!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Focus on Trek Art
    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2001
    Format: Paperback
    Lavishly produced and printed, this title goes behind the scenes of "TNG" to show the reader things from costumes to interiors to starship models in great detail. As an artist myself, I found the book an incredible resource and reference. As an episode guide, it provides only a cursory overview (Larry Niemicek's TNG companion is far superior on that front). If, however, you are into all things Trek, this is a must have.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended
    Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 1999
    Format: Paperback
    If you have ever watched Star Trek: The Next Generation and wondered "How did they do that?" this book is perfect for you. A review of each episode of the series as well as the movies, beautiful photos and illustrations make this book a pleasant and informative read. The authors tend to go overboard with praise for the people who bring Star Trek: TNG to the screen but they deserve the recognition. I would recommend it to any fan of ST:TNG to add to their collection.
