Description:

"Compelling, page-turning ... the most important book of Star Trek journalism ever done and is just as gripping as [Marc Cushman's] look at the shows and launch of the first season." – Jeff Bond, Editor, Geek Magazine.

"With These Are the Voyages - TOS: Season Two, author Marc Cushman has topped his amazing predecessor!" – Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood.

"You can trust these books! You won't be reading a P.R. man's spins. This is honest and this is how it was being there making Star Trek." – Walter Koenig.
