Happy 2023 Birthday to Nicholas Meyer!

Happy birthday to Nicholas Meyer!

Nicholas Meyer directed Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. He wrote the screenplays for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI. Though never credited for his efforts, Meyer rewrote much of the screenplay for The Wrath of Khan by combining several elements from earlier drafts. He is also largely responsible for the nautical influence that pervades The Wrath of Khan and its sequels, from the military essence of the red-jacket uniforms to the more heated and dramatic character of the battle sequences.

“Star Trek: Lower Decks – Crew Handbook” Review by Dailystartreknews.com

Dailystartreknews.com has added a new review for Chris Farnell‘s “Star Trek: Lower Decks – Crew Handbook”:

is not just dialog and text but as mentioned previously, wonderful art, and as a MASSIVE comic book and animation fan it adds so much to the book in my eyes. As you read through from page to page and chapter to chapter there are dialog boxes from Captain Freeman, Lieutenant Junior Grade’s Becket Mariner, and Bradward Boimler which could be straight out of the show.

Published by Titan Books, the novel represents the fifth in a series of “autobiographies” of various Star Trek captains. After informing Attico that I thoroughly enjoyed the book and catching up with him about his advertising campaign to promote its release, I launched into some questions about the novel itself.
