Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This new version of the Star Trek Encyclopedia is a reissue of the 1997 edition plus a 128-page supplement of additional material that updates Deep Space Nine to the end of its run and Voyager to midway through season five. It also covers the movie Star Trek: Insurrection. The supplement is as meticulously detailed as the rest of the volume, listing such fascinating trivia as chadre kab (Seven of Nine's first meal), "Kahless and Lukara" (a Klingon opera) and voraxna (a Cardassian poison), as well as all the new characters and species. Appendices include illustrations of starships, cast and crew listings, a historical timeline and a bibliography. All photographs and illustrations (except a few historical shots) are in colour. The encyclopedia was devisedin part to help production staff on the various Star Trek TV series keep up with the ever-increasing level of detail generated by over more than 30 years of creative effort. It is an excellent reference volume and, whether you want to settle an argument or write a novel, this book will answer your questions. But beware: The extensive cross-referencing leads to curious time-distortion effects, in which the unwary reader, dipping in to settle a single query, encounters an irresistible urge to browse further, during which hours of normal time can pass in the wink of aneye. --Elizabeth Sourbut

This is SOOOOOOOOO BRILLIANT if you are a Star Trek fan and you want to know everything about Star Trek. The first editions of the encyclopedia were pure excellance, but this one is slightly different, or should I say, the same....with a bit added at the end!!! This edition is virtually identical to the last edition, only it has a supplement at the end that covers the latest seasons of DS9 and Voyager. I would have thought that the Okudas would have printed any new information in with the older stuff, so you don't have to read about something and finish off reading information on that subject at the end of the book. Perhaps the Okudas will do this next time round, I hope...

This book is so wonderful because of the great attention which has been paid to details. This book reveals how incredibly fine and detailed the Star Trek Universe has been conceived and developed. I found the chronological listing of events in the Star Trek Universe very useful. However I found inconsistencies in the order of Episodes compared with the Star Trek Web Site.
The only thing that could be improved would be to incorporate the updated addendum into the main text. I hope this will be done in a future edition. Further possible goodies would be detailed schematics of the starships Enterprise and Voyager as well as Deep Space 9.
I am looking forward to a future edition which includes all season of Star Trek Voyager. Great work from the Editors and their team!

The Star Trek Encyclopedia is an exellent source of information for Star Trek fans, especially those who are die-hard. I liked the book because it has very good information on ships, characters, and more. The book also has information on bloopers and other parts that actors played. For example, the book pointed out that In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Khan said he remembered Chekov from "Space Seed", unfortunatly this is impossible because Chekov's character was not yet created.
The is book is also good to get information on broad subjects, like ship classes and planets etc. For example, the book has lists of all the named ships, their classes, and what they did in relevance to Star Trek.
The book doesn't tell info on the books, but it is good in all other areas, episodes included. I would recommend this book to all Trek fans who ever wanted a place to look something up.
This book is much better than any other Star Trek info book I've ever seen, it also comes with free blueprints of the USS Enterprise D, so its a must.
