Synopsis
Remember the Star Trek novel that tells the story of Redjac's eternal battle with immortal Flint? What about the comic book story that takes Pavel Chekov to the Soviet planet Soyuz II, where he meets the ghost of Yuri Gagarin? Did you see the episode of Voyager in which Tuvok faces pon farr while the crew battles an alien who dies but keeps coming back for more? How about the weekly web serial bringing together a team of time-travelers including Tasha Yar, K'Ehleyr, and a humanoid avatar of the Guardian of Forever?These are just a few of the Star Trek projects developed and pitched to TV producers, book editors, comic book publishers, and website producers through the years. Which ones were fails, and which ones weren't? Find out in this journey through boundless time and space in a search for the secrets of an alternate universe of Trek adventures that never were.Award-winning author Robert T. Jeschonek knows his Star Trek. He won the national grand prize in the Strange New Worlds writing contest.
