Customer Reviews

A much recommended Companion the Star Trek Series

Trekkers and trekkies will will enjoy the archival quality of this book. New Star Trek fans will find it doubly useful to explain what happened in each episode to people who may not have watched every Star Trek Series episode so many multiple times that they can intuitively grasp every nuance. For me, I use it to select which episode I'm going to watch tonight. It refreshes my memory relative to connecting the title with the episode content. Plus, there's enough interesting content to really bring people into the Start Trek Universe. This Companion is much recommended.

great product for Trekers, good price

Love this in my Star Trek collection. Helps you to remember all of the great episodes of this series.

Good synopsis of episodes

The episode descriptions are insightfull, but as most reviewers state, there is is little inside information like in the DS9 companion. Perhaps the author was denied the inside gossip or details, or there where not any! :) Still, this is a good guide to have on your shelf.

A perfect reference book for the series

I realize that The Star Trek Deep Space Nine Companion raised the bar for fan expectations, but comparisons to between that book and this one are unfair. The Voyager Companion is a great reference book. It provides all the factual data you need on the series itself, AND it has a multitude of indexes, which the DS9 Companion, unfortunately, was missing. It's everything a companion book should be. Does it have a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff? No, but I don't see why it has to. Over the course of time, it's the show itself you'll want to remember trivia about, not what Brannon Braga had for breakfast. The DS9 writers and producers were very free with information. The Voyager writers and producers are notoriously close-mouthed. It's a different show than DS9 and this is a different book. I don't think any fan's bookshelf is complete without The Voyager Companion, The DS9 Companion, and the TNG Companion. And of course the ST Compendium, if you can find it! Buy this book--it's a great source of STAR TREK info.
