In its near 60-year history, Star Trek  has entertained us with hundreds of stories. A lot of those stories were told on television and movie screens, but dedicated fans know that there are a myriad of other tales that exist solely on the page. The   bookshelf of the final frontier is packed with novels , comic books , behind-the-scenes accounts, meditations on philosophy, both actor and character biographies, technical manuals, even fitness guides . Now, a new publication seeks to shed light on an area where no book has gone before: the friendships of Star Trek .  The Star Trek Book of Friendship is a unique volume in the long and storied history of Trek books because it features two friends casually exploring the relationships of the franchise. Over the course of 128 pages, authors Robb Pearlman and Jordan Hoffman discuss just about every relationship from the history of the property: Kirk and Spock, Picard and Riker, Data and La Forge, Janeway and Tuvok, Sisko and...

Cereal At Midnight recently had the opportunity to speak with author Robb Pearlman about his new book  Body By Starfleet , a fitness guide that uses the worlds and characters of Star Trek to promote physical health! C@M: Robb, thank you so much for speaking with us!  Body By Starfleet combines physical fitness with the themes, characters, and ideals of Star Trek. Some readers may be surprised at how naturally these two topics fit together. What was the genesis of this project, and what led you to combine your love of Star Trek with personal fitness? RP : A few years ago I decided to make a change in my life and go where I'd never gone before: they gym. I found a great local place, Tutela Training Systems, in Clark NJ. Though I was initially intimidated to even walk through the door, I quickly warmed to it as I realized that the other guys working out were not only of all different body types, backgrounds, and careers, but all completely supportive and encouraging of e...

The Mego saga continues! Weeks after the launch of Wave 2, many fans seem to be having an even harder time trying to find the new figures in their local Target stores and on Target.com than they did with Wave 1! Is there hope on the horizon? In this video, we tackle some tough questions.

In 2006, Pocket Books published a trio of novels in celebration of  Star Trek 's 40th Anniversary. These books looked back affectionately at the original 1966 television series, but with a fresh twist that turned established stories on their head. Each book of David R. George III's "Crucible" trilogy highlighted a member of the show's trinity (Kirk, Spock, and McCoy), and explored how their pasts and futures hinged on one very pivotal event. The first of these books was Crucible: McCoy - Provenance of Shadows , and it's one of the best Star Trek  books I've ever read.

No franchise has more spin-off material than Star Trek. Over the last fifty-plus years, there have been hundreds of novels and tie-in books, multiple comic book runs, audio dramas, games, and more. Collectively, this material provides over a thousand stories that exist outside the official Star Trek continuity, and some of them are real gems that should not be overlooked. From time to time, we'll highlight one of these stories and examine it. These are The Continuing Missions. In this installment, we'll look at "The Trial of James T. Kirk" from DC Comics.
