Product Description:
Star Trek: Constellations is a mind-blowing collection of specially-commissioned stories designed to go where no anthology has gone before. Featuring the iconic heroes of the Star Trek universe -- the legendary characters who were the inspiration for all those who followed -- this treasure trove of untold tales recreates all the sense of adventure that marked the original Star Trek when it first burst on to our television screens in 1966. Each story takes as its inspiration an element of 'unfinished business' from the original series so that they read like 'lost episodes' of the television show, exploring aspects of the Star Trek crew and their adventures which have intrigued Trekkers ever since the original series ended. The result is a magnificent tribute to the series that changed the face of television history and will have millions of fans worldwide feeling as though they have just discovered a whole 'missing' season of their favourite show.

Given that David Gerrold participated in the introduction of this book, I had high hopes for it. The quality of stories varies widely, but I suspect that every Star Trek fan will find one that appeals to them more than others.
I enjoyed reading all of them to some extent, but only the last one, "Make-Believe", stuck in my mind...and heart. The ending really touched me at several levels. That story alone salvages this otherwise somewhat lackluster anthology from a 2-star review.

Fans of Star Trek can't get enough, and STAR TREK: CONSTELLATIONS is a collection of stories that adds to the adventures of the cast of the Star Trek universe. Here are untold tales from such notable contributors as Stuart Moore, Jeff Bond, and more. There's even a story from Tokyopop's latest Star Trek manga. Unlike other single-book stories this is designed as part of the series' fortieth anniversary celebration and gathers new original tales designed to feel like 'lost' episodes - and in this ...

It's hard to accept that 40 years have gone by since James T. Kirk and the stalwart crew of the USS ENTERPRISE swept into American consciousness. What a handsome, endearing bunch they were...and what exciting, often uplifting adventures they had! Assembled to promote STAR TREK'S 40th anniversary, this short story collection advertises itself as being "...in (the) grand STAR TREK tradition"(that) "recaptures the magic of the world-renowed television series..." Sorry folks, I don't agree.

2006 is the 40th anniversary of the entire Star Trek phenomenon. Much like the last couple of years, which have had anniversary anthologies for various Trek franchises, Pocket Books has now published one for the Original Series. Once again, editor Marco Palmieri has chosen from the stable of current Trek writers as well as some up-and-comers to put together a very nifty group of stories that holds your interest throughout. While some are certainly weaker than others, I can honestly say there isn't ... Read More

This collection begins with an intro by David Gerrold, one of the writers for the original show, reminding us of what it stood for. It gave me very high expectations for this anthology, which the stories could not match. The first story is about reasons for breaking the Prime Directive. It is a good but not great story. The second story is about Sulu's first landing party command. It is mechanistic and there is very little feeling in the writing. In the third story, Chekov and McCoy visit Iraq, and are ... Read More
