Star Trek Lives! by Jacqueline Lichtenberg

3.0

An enjoyable read for Trek aficionados, especially for the historical context, as this was written post-original series, but pre-everything else official. Lots of snippets of interviews with the cast and creators, and some great behind-the-scenes looks at the final days of shooting the show and the first convention. Lots of looks at mid-70's fandom, with a strong emphasis on the appeal of Kirk and Spock (but especially Spock) to women, even exploring the world of "slash" fiction (no, "slash" is by no means a new thing!). Obviously, there probably isn't much new in here for long-time fans, but it was fun to immerse myself in an earlier, simpler world of Trek fandom.
