These Are The Voyages: Star Trek TOS - Season Two by Marc Cushman .. PDF

For Gene Roddenberry and his talented team, launching Star Trek was nearly an impossible task. Keeping it on the air was even harder. Travel back to 1967, with Star Trek entering its second season on NBC as the incredible, in depth story gets even more remarkable.

This is Marc Cushman’s biography covering the history of Star Trek. Using memos and letters from creator Gene Roddenberry, his colleagues, the studios, and the networks. Included are production reports, TV ratings, vintage press coverage, and interviews, as Cushman documents the events from 1975 through 1977, including Gene Roddenberry’s 1977 TV pilot film Spectre, and Roddenberry’s other sci-fi projects from this period, such as The Nine and Earth.

Also covered in definitive detail, the efforts throughout 1975-1976 by Paramount Pictures and Roddenberry to make a Star Trek movie, which gave way to the development of a new television series in 1977, the aborted Star Trek Phase II. While the series never became a reality, this book covers how the script for its two hour premiere episode became the template for 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

This is your boarding pass to go behind the scenes as a TV series and its creator become a worldwide phenomenon and achieve legendary status.
