Treks Not Taken: What If Stephen King, Anne Rice, Kurt Vonnegut and Other Literary Greats Had Written Episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation?
Summary[]
- From the back cover
- Now you can cruise the most hilarious sector of the space-time continuum, with this collection of twenty Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes not by the leading lights of the Western literary tradition: James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Jackie Collins...
- Steven Boyett transports you into the sort of alternate universes any avid reader or Trekker would love:
- a Clancy-like realm where the Enterprise crew mobilizes to fix Captain Picard's broken watch
- a Heller-esque domain where you can only get out of Starfleet if you're crazy – and, if you want to get out of Starfleet, you're clearly not crazy
- a Collins-ish netherworld where Counselor Demanda Troi shops and sleeps her way around the galaxy
- a Melvillian place where the Great White Hole lies in wait
- ...and many more.
- Boldly go where no one has gone before with this stellar combination of high art and high comedy.
