Spoiler alert: I'm not a Trekkie, but I still wanted to learn more about the show and what better way than learning the science behind it?! The photos were beautiful and everything was explained in such a way that even I could understand. Kudos to the author for that. This is a great addition for anyone that loves science and science fiction. I would recommend this book. 4.5 out of 5 stars. (
