Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The Star Trek: The Next Generation® Technical Manual, written by Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda, the technical advisors to Star Trek: The Next Generation, provides a comprehensive schematization of a Galaxy-class starship. From the bridge to the shuttlebays, from the transporter room to crews' quarters, this book provides a never-before-seen glimpse at the inner, intricate workings of the most incredible starship ever conceived.

Full of diagrams, technical schematics, and ship's plans, the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual also takes a detailed look at the principles behind Star Trek®'s awesome technology -- from phasers to warp drive to the incredible holodeck.




Rating: - More information than one could dream of...
I first purchased this book back when the series was still in it's early days and was actively being produced and aired on a weekly basis.

I was astounded to learn that many of the shipboard systems are based on actual scientific theory and not just some dreamed up "widget" to make it all work together.

Rating: - Tech Manuals
Tech Manuals are rather dull as they go, but I enjoyed this book. I'm somewhat of a newbie to Star Trek, and indulge in the technical side. Which is why I bought it(not from amazon). I enjoy reading everything in it. I wish it were in full color though.

Rating: - Poor quality
I bought the first book in 1991 and was very well pleased. Several years later, I lost it. I recently saw this one in a search and decided to purchase it. Much to my extreme disappointment, it was not what I was expecting. All of the color was gone and the text within the black ovals was hardly legible. There is a page which is supposed to have a picture of our spiral galaxy on it, it looks more like an ink smudge. The entire book looks like it was copied on a five year old copy machine.

Rating: - Direct from Starfleet Research and Development
Highly recommended for freshmen at Star Fleet Academy (and for Trekkers everywhere).

For a couple of years I was a member of a local science fiction society in part just to see if there was any other science fiction comparable in quality to Star Trek (in whatever series, whether The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, or Enterprise). The answer is No, Non, Nyet, Nada, Lo. If Star Trek is like graduate school, then most other science fiction is like pre-school. ... Read More
