Description
An enormously entertaining account of Nicholas Meyer's involvement with the three classic Star Trek films - The Wrath of Khan (1982), The Voyage Home (1986) and The Undiscovered Country (1991) - as well as his illustrious career in the movie business. The man best known for bringing together Sherlock Holmes and Sigmund Freud in The Seven Per-Cent Solution (WW. Norton, 1983) had ironically never been interested in Star Trek until he was brought on board to save the film series.
Reviews
"Essential reading for any Star Trek and movie fan."trekmovie.com
"An engaging read that's all the better for his insights into directing The Day After... Meyer also writes about adapting his best-selling novel The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, for which he was Oscar-nominated in 1977, and making his directorial debut with 1979's Time After Time."The Gazette (Montreal)
