Focus On…Star Trek

    (IDW, 2007)
™ and © 2007 CBS Studios, Inc.

Hitting the stands one week before the 1st issue of Star Trek: Year Four, this special issue spotlights IDW’s new Original Cast limited series, as well as their other Star Trek related titles. Along with previews, artwork, and interviews, the book contains an all-new stand-alone 5-page story starring Kirk and his original crew, written by David Tischman. It’s a lead-in for the new Year Four series, which picks up where the classic TV show left off—continuing the Enterprise’s five-year mission to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Included are previews of the latest Star Trek: The Next Generation series, The Space Between, and Klingons: Blood Will Tell, which re-tells some classic Trek adventures from the Klingons’ point of view.

A lengthy interview with D.C Fontana rounds out the book nicely. Fontana, who at one time was personal assistant to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, has written episodes for the original Star Trek, the animated series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. A prolific writer for over four decades, she has contributed scripts for many other classic and well-known TV shows, from The Waltons and Here Come The Brides to The Six Million Dollar Man and Babylon 5.
