Inhalt

Vom Umschlagtext:

Star Trek's own Lieutenant Pavel Chekov takes us in close to the off-camera camaraderie while making the greatest film adventure!

Star Trek lives!

The Enterprise crew is back on the screen after ten long years. The remarkable Gene Roddenberry and his acclaimed director Robert Wise reunite the original cast (Bill Shatner, Nichelle Nichols, Leonard Nimoy, etc.) in a stupendous new movie based on the ever-popular television series.

From behind the controls of Starship Enterprise, on the fabulous new Paramount Pictures set, Walter Koenig (the original Chekov) tells all:

• what it's like ten years later, the in-jokes, parties and lunches
• how the cast deals with setbacks, waiting, rewrites
• what happens when fans sneak through the gates
• how the crew materializes that ineffable starship spirit in daily grind and moments of glory

It's all inside this delightful on-the-set diary.

Come aboard Chekov's Enterprise!

Vom Umschlagtext:

„Scotty says, 'A Bonnie tale!' and I agree. It was great to relive our ten year 'reunion'. Thanks, Walter!“
- JAMES DOOHAN

„A wonderful romp of a read, full of fun, truth and wonderful memories. Walter has a wonderful way with words and a scorching sense of self-deprecating humor. Read it, trust me, you'll love it!“
- DEFOREST KELLEY

„I recently re-read Walter Koenig's book, CHEKOV'S ENTERPRISE. While reading I was frequently reminded that Walter is perceptive, incisive, deceptively funny, ironically synical (perhaps cynically ironic), a sensitive soul, a very fine writer and a good friend. His ability to capture the truth of a moment brought back memories of Star Trek I with glaring clarity... and many being poignant, often extremely funny, sometimes infuriatingly maddening and even theatrically historic. It is obvious that Walter Koenig and Chekov are intimately interwined. I commend him for this insightful, entertaining contribution to the Star Trek lore.“
- NICHELLE NICHOLS

„CHEKOV'S ENTERPRISE was my vehicle that took me on a wonderful voyage of rediscoveries and remembrances. This trek is fueled by Walter Koenig's lively curiosity, affectionate insights and his observant eyes and ears. And the best discovery of this delightful journey is finding yet another of my talented friend's many gifts. Bon voyage!“
