Star Trek is a very influential franchise, not only for being 50 years active, but also for its fame and countless adaptations. The reason Star Trek having all this success is explained in this launch of Globe Books50 years of Star Trek, where we can see testimonials from creators, production and fans about the messages that the work conveys.

There were six TV series, thirteen feature films and several comics and books released from this franchise in these five decades, turning Star Trek into a pop culture icon and one of the most enduring franchises. This could not go unnoticed, so this collection brings together stories from the creator Gene Roddernberry about how it all started, what were the inspirations to create the series and the difficulties they went through to do so.

The format is full of testimonials from production members, actors and influential fans. The most interesting thing is that it has no censorship, so we found some surprising reports about the productions, information that every fan will love to discover. For example, did you know that Star Trek had its original pilot denied by the networks, and after remaking it was almost denied again?

50 years is a long time, so this is just the first volume of the collection, which will total 4 issues. The focus of the first one is the classic series, the one starring William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. It is very interesting to read about the beginning of everything, after all, at the time when Star Trek was released it was complicated to launch a series with this theme.

Packed with information about this successful classic, 50 years of Star Trek is highly recommended for trekkers and for film and television lovers, as the information goes beyond behind-the-scenes curiosities, showing a very deep side of the production.
