Trekkers: True Stories by Fans for Fans

By Nikki Stafford

In the 1960s, a generation was introduced to a crew of people who were going 'where no man has gone before'. After it was cancelled, fans began watching the show in reruns, going to conventions to hear the stars talk about their experiences, and collecting paraphernalia from the show. The Trekkie was born. Since then the Star Trek franchise has boomed, and the fandom has grown along with it. This book gathers, for the first time, stories of how Star Trek has touched people's lives, by people who think that Star Trek isn't just a show, but a way of life.

Treks to remember

I too am a bit biased about this book... Nikki found me online and asked if I'd write about my Star Trek experiences. Chase Masterson had just come to my house and it was a very surreal experience having a Star Trek personality in my home. I wrote about my first experiences with Star Trek at my baby sitter's house in 1966 all the way up to the 21st century. The book is a fun perspective for new and old fans alike and we're all very grateful to Nikki for putting it together and making it available to the world.

I have to admit a bit of personal bias for this book, as I am 1 of the Storytellers in the book. All that aside I found most of the stories very entertaining, and some of them truely inspirational. I have and will continue to recommend this book to family & friends, to Trek and non Trek fans alike, not just because of the Trek connection, but for the true life stories of others to rise to the occassion and overcome.
