Books like Warped Factors by Walter Koenig

Actor Leonard Nimoy tells of the alien who inhabits his body and how he made peace with him.

A detailed historical account of the creation and development of the original Star Trek television series, including design of the U.S.S. Enterprise, production insights, cast biographies, and visual documentation.

In the course of this book, Shatner gives us a short history of Trek fandom, reveals the thinking behind Paramount's decision to kill off James T. Kirk, briefly explains the origins of the infamous Saturday Night Live sketch that gives the book its title, holds a seminar with the three other starship captains, and even takes lessons on the proper way to imitate Kirk from the master, Kevin Pollak, an actor/comedian. (Among the insights gained: those dramatic pauses in Kirk's speeches were the result of Shatner trying to remember his next line.) And there are plenty of jokes at the expense of Leonard Nimoy, as well as a few skewering Shatner. (The "elephant story" is a classic in itself. Once, when Shatner was on a photo safari in Africa, an elephant did number two on his head. He tells the story at cons, and the fans seem to love it, for some reason.) But the most touching segments of Get a Life! are Shatner's interviews with the fans, particularly those to whom the show and the fan community have given a social and emotional lifeline. Once you've read the conversations with the shy veterinary student who made friends by dressing his cats in Star Trek uniforms, or with a young woman whose severe emotional and sexual trauma had led to the development of multiple personalities that included three healing presences in the form of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, you will never be able to make a Trekkie joke quite so readily again.

When a mysterious force creates subspace dead zones that cripple warp travel and communications, Captain Picard and Ambassador Spock must team up with a Romulan war criminal to find the source before the Alpha Quadrant falls into a new dark age.

When a cosmic force spreads “dead zones” across the galaxy, Captain Picard and the Enterprise crew race against time to locate and stop the mysterious source before the Alpha Quadrant sinks into darkness.

A young man from Iowa and a Vulcan strategist confront a rogue war machine threatening the galaxy, with Kirk and Spock leading the only crew that can stop it.
