Star Trek Creator: The Biography of Gene Roddenberry (1st Edition P/B) 1994

STAR TREK CREATOR: THE AUTHORIZED BIOGRAPHY OF GENE RODDENBERRY. David Alexander (INTRODUCTION by Majel Barrett Roddenberry)

Star Trek's creator Gene Roddenberry remains one of our culture's beloved icons - his influence is still felt worldwide and across generations - not just because of his creation but because of the man he was.

He lived a life filled with asdventure and tragedy, irony and contradiction. A child of the South and a war hero, he fought racial prejudice and sought sexual equality, envisioning a future free of armed conflict.

For the first time, one book explores both the private and the public sides of this incredible and complex figure. From Roddenberry's first script sale through to the syndication of Star Trek as a worldwide phenomenon, STAR TREK CREATOR provides amazing revelations and anecdotes on the life of this legendary character including the genesis of Spock, an "unsurvivable" desert plane crash and exclusive stories from a former LAPD co-worker who went on to be a world-famous writer-producer himself.

Illustrated with 16 pages of photographs and with unprecedented access to his files, friends, associates and Roddenberry himself, this book is the definitive biography of an extraordinary man.
