Amazon.com Review: This new version of the Star Trek Encyclopedia is a reissue of the 1997 edition, plus a 128-page supplement of additional material that updates Deep Space Nine to the end of its run and Voyager to midway through season five. It also covers the movie Star Trek: Insurrection. The supplement is as meticulously detailed as the rest of the volume, listing such fascinating trivia as chadre kab (Seven of Nine's first meal), 'Kahless and Lukara' (a Klingon opera), and voraxna (a Cardassian poison), as well as all the new characters and species. Appendices include illustrations of starships, cast and crew listings, a historical timeline, and a bibliography. All photographs and illustrations (except for a few historical shots) are in color. The encyclopedia was devised in part to help production staff on the various Star Trek TV series to keep up with the ever-increasing level of detail generated by over 30 years of creative effort. It is an excellent reference volume and, whether you want to settle an argument or write a novel, this book will answer your questions. But beware: the extensive cross-referencing leads to curious time-distortion effects, in which the unwary reader, dipping in to settle a single query, encounters an irresistible urge to browse further, during which hours of normal time can pass in the wink of an eye. --Elizabeth Sourbut
Awesome, more than enough info I bought this book as a present for my brother's birthday, but when I got it, I had a hard time putting it down. I'm not much of a trekkie but this is a really fun book.
exemptional for anyone into star trek this book is a complete and detailed accounts for all star trek series and movies...a must for all collector of star trek.
Holy Information! You want to look up something about trek,get this book. it is ridiculously packed full of everything, but then it could have been more in depth with individual items. sometimes a charecters, places, or items only have a phrase or word to describe it. but it is still the most in depth encyclopedia you can get. . . in fact its the only one
Great book! To put it in short- the best Trekkie encyclopedia there is.
I just love those biographies on important characters.
Good Source of Reference Before I lost this, I was constantly using this as a point of reference for the time line of things and to make sure I wasn't mispelling certain things.. getting other things right, what was where, what all kinds of Star ship classes there wear, etc... this was all for a fan fiction novel that I was, am.. writing. Good thing I put some of those things I was always looking at.. on paper.. so I didn't have to lug the book around everywhere I went.
Granted it's lacking the last few seasons of Voyager and the whole of Enterprise, but I thank Okura for even making "an" edition of these, though it would be nice for a new one.
