Continue the exploration of the design process that led to the iconic Star Trek ships featured in the hit television programs and films with Star Trek- Designing the Starships Volume Two- Voyager and Beyond. Packed with concept art and interviews with the ship designers and screen model builders, this never before explored subject will appeal to all Star Trek fans.
Ben Robinson is best known as the man behind Eaglemoss's Official
Star Trek Starships collection, which in the last three years has
become the largest and best-regarded collections of model Star Trek
ships ever produced.
He has been involved with Star Trek for 20 years. Ben was the
launch editor of the hugely succesful Star Trek Fact Files
reference work, which sold over 50 million units. Then he went on
to edit the US Star Trek- The Magazine, which ran between 1999 and
2003. He has co-written two Haynes Manuals, the first featuring all
seven Enterprises, and the second focusing on the Klingon
Bird-of-Prey. Ben is particularly passionate about the writing,
design, and visual effects behind the series. In the last two
decades he has conducted extensive interviews with many of the most
significant figures in the history of Star Trek from Dorothy
Fontana and Matt Jefferies to Michael Piller, Ira Steven Behr, Ron
D. Moore, and Bryan Fuller.
“If you want to see what the world of Star Trek could
have looked like and to read how it became what it is,
then Star Trek: Designing Starships – The USS Voyager and
Beyond is a must. A truly fascinating read through the
history of Trek.”
