The book you're waiting for...

[davejames]

Is that the one from Michael Piller? I do have one Making of Insurrection book, but that's more of a standard Making Of book.

@ trevenian

Thanks a lot for your extensive reply to my question. It is always very sad to hear, when such great (fan) effort goes not only un-rewarded but outright ignored - and that after you had already made contact with the proper people. With that background I can understand, why you´re not very fond of "The Art of Star Trek" as published. OTOH it may be better that they didn´t use any of your material, since they probably wouldn´t have given proper credit and/or a share of the profits.

I agree with your take on the PHASE II book - I mostly own it for the pictures it contains

PS: Did you ever get your proposal-book back, or is it lost forever?

I sent color xeroxes ... I still have the original, though it is yellowing in spots! If my wife ever has the inclination, maybe I can put up a webpage as a writing sample (being careful not to infringe on anybody, I guess.)

 

[trevanian]

All those sound like incidental problems to the script, which is an incomprehensible mess, although I'm sure they didn't help any.

I assume this is the book?

Man, it is going for a lot more than it was even a few years back.
Yeah, that's it.

The original writer had a great notion for exploring evolved human consciousness kind of like the GR TMP new human stuff, but it is hard to see that in the final.

Yes it is.

I really do hope Mrs. Pillar gets to publish that book officially. I'd really like to read it.

An all Trek CINEFEX would be appreciated--with ship profiles. At least we know the issue will be longer than it is tall due to the standard format.

I wouldn't mind a book on rejected storylines, just to see what ideas were out there.

Not a book, but over at Orion Press, I've posted synopses of several rejected storylines. See the first link in my sig, scroll down to "Outlines Which Never Became Episodes."

Cool! I will check those out.

I wonder what the legality would be of self-publishing a collection of these?

 

[RandyS]

Still waiting for the novel of The God Thing.

I'd like to see someone tackle Planet of the Titans!

I'd like to see both.

 

[trevanian]

I'm beginning to wonder if by the time we finish being steamrollered by these Ridley Scott PROMETHEUS movies that they will have trampled all over THE GOD THING and TITANS.

 

[Sir Rhosis]

Not sure of the legality, Harvey, but honestly, I've never entertained the notion. I'm not much of a critic, and really just post these for fun and for other fans.
