Book Reviews of Inside Star Trek: The Real Story
Book Review: 'Tis, indeed, the "Real Story'
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an anomoly: an objective, non-egotistical look at a television program which has influenced popular culture and spawned several television and motion picture sequels. Justman and Solow give all the juicy details here: the reader gets to decide just who had the big ego, who was the pain in the Jefferies' tube, and who at NBC knew nothing about television and almost singlehandedly caused the series' demise. (Of course, those people are still working in the industry.) The quirky sex stories of the cast and crew are exposed, and one is left with a full belly and a teary eye. With the adversity Roddenberry, Solow, and Justman faced from NBC, it was a miracle this show lasted 3 seasons. The fact that it's popularity hasn't waned after 33 years is a testament to the idealistic 23rd-century universe of brotherhood, peace, and non-interference in other cultures.
Summary of Inside Star Trek: The Real Story
In early 1964, Herb Solow had just been hired to run television production for Lucille Ball's struggling Desilu Studios when he met a soft-spoken Texan named Gene Roddenberry. Thus begins the story of the incredible odyssey to make not just a series, but television history. This all-encompasing look at the making of Star Trek offers a wonderful, behind-the-scenes adventure that could have only been written by those who helped make the legend.
