Praise For Edward Gross & Mark A. Altman "Slayers & Vampires is a
new primary text to pour over, with plenty of behind-the-scenes
tidbits about who hated whom and how TV shows are made."-- The New
York Times
"The authors have done an exhaustive, masterful job of collecting
interviews and editing memories, opinions and reflections of
hundreds of creative artists, business executives, critics and even
the occasional social scientist. What emerges is an intriguing look
inside the sausage-making process that is television and film
production." - The Wall Street Journal "At last, the final word on
the final frontier!" - Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood "Breathtaking
in scope and depth, this is a must-read for Star Trek lovers as

and film production works" - Booklist "A tantalizing Star Trek
tell-all... perhaps the most comprehensive compendium of Star Trek
knowledge you'll ever find" - Emmy Magazine "Authors Mark A. Altman
and Edward Gross do an unbelievable job organizing large quantities
of information. What went on behind the scenes? Which casting
decisions almost weren't? If you're just dying for juicy secrets
about the famous franchise, then your search is over. We just know
you're going to love this book; resistance is futile" - Bookish "An
unprecedented behind-the-scenes look into the making of a TV
series. Some days you have liftoff, and other days you blow up on
