Trek Autobiographies...which is the best?

[cb31]

I've been reading several of the Trek stars autobiographies lately and was just curious about which is your favorite?

Here's a list of the ones I know of:

Star Trek Memories-Shatner
Star Trek Movie Memories-Shatner
I Am Spock-Nimoy
I Am Not Spock-Nimoy
Beam Me Up, Scotty-Doohan
Warped Factors-Koenig
Beyond Uhura-Nichols
To the Stars-Takei

Are there any out there I'm not aware of that are worth a read?

I enjoyed them all but to me Walter Koenig's was the most interesting read. He really does come off as VERY Neurotic! I thought his book was fun and even though he doesn't have too many good things to say about Shatner he doesn't blast him nearly as much as some of the others do.

So, which did you like best?

Steve Roby's Complete Starfleet Library has a List of Biographies and Autobiographies, and I think you have all Autobiographies covered.

Warp Factors had the best cover.

There's one not listed on that page because it's not out yet: The View From the Bridge: Memories of Star Trek and a Life in Hollywood by Nicholas Meyer. Lots of stuff about his work on Wrath of Khan, Voyage Home, and Undiscovered Country, among other things. Looks intriguing.

I see Writing Sarek is right below that. I remember ordering it somewhere around 2005-2006, and asking Peter about it at Dragon*Con last year. I'm on their email list, and I love how every email is begging for money and saying he's working on some new project, but as soon as it's done, Writing Sarek will be out. I wonder if he's even started that book yet.

Looks interesting, I'll have to check it out.

I also forgot to list The Longest Trek by Grace Lee Whitney.

Last I remember hearing was that Beagle had just about finished the manuscript and then found a bunch of paperwork relating to the script that he wanted to incorporate which means that the book will be a lot longer and it really shouldn't be too much longer. But that was probably a couple years back. The thing is, right now his career is hotter than it's been a really long time, so I can understand his focus on other things... but I paid for the damn book five years ago. I'd like to get it.
