TNG 'Bible'

[J.Ashmore]

I just read over the Voyager "Bible." Does anyone know if there's a TNG "Bible" and if there is could someone link it to me?

Please and thank you

I read it a few years ago, but I don't recall where. Diane Carey's novel Ghost Ship, written before TNG premiered, features a few of the planned elements that never made it into the show (such Riker's dislike of Data), and is a fascinating look at how TNG might have been. Even if it's not very good.

There are at least three versions. The first one, compiled mainly by David Gerrold for Season One, lifts portions from the old Gene Roddenberry "Phase II" bible (Rand's "walk of a strip tease queen" is given to Bev Crusher), plus elements from DG's final chapter of "World of Star Trek" (ie. away teams, captain stays aboard, etc). Data is said to be created by aliens (and the Gerrold novelization of "Encounter at Farpoint" elaborates the planet as Kiron III).

The Season Two bible adds info about Worf, Guinan, synthehol, Ten Forward and Pulaski. Season Three mentions the return of Crusher.

These publications were available for sale from Lincoln Enterprises while TNG was on the air. (Lincoln is now known as Roddenberry.com). If there are free copies online they are bootlegs.
