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

In the late 1980s Gene Roddenberry and Robert H. Justman gave Marc Cushman permission and encouragement to write the definitive history of Star Trek: The Original Series". They backed up their stamp of approval by providing Marc exclusive access to all the production documents generated by the series, everything from the creation of the idea by Gene Roddenberry, down to the last day of production.

This is the first in a three book set chronicling the period in Star Trek history spanning the cancellation of the original series and continuing through the making and release of 1979’s Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

In between these two events, Star Trek became a worldwide phenomenon. Factors in this renaissance were a boom in syndication, the coming of the conventions and fanzines, and an unparalleled expansion in merchandising. As the number of fans multiplied in massive proportions, and the reruns of the classic 1979 episodes topped the ratings for their time slots in cities across America and around the world, curious developments were taking place behind the scenes.

This volume focuses on the first half of the decade, including Roddenberry projects Pretty Maids All in a Row, Genesis II, The Questor Tapes, Planet Earth, Strange New World, Star The Animated Series, and more.
