Description:
An in-depth look at the making of Star Trek: Picard,
a three-season spin-off of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and a
must-have for all Star Trek fans.
Star Trek: Picard stars Patrick Stewart,
reprising his role as Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The book explores each of the three separate season-long narratives, which tell
the story of Picard in later years, as he is brought out of retirement on his
family chateau to face old enemies such as the Borg, take command of a new
starship, and ultimately reconcile with his past.
New characters such as Doctor Jurati (Alison Pill),
Cristóbal Rios (Santiago Cabrera), Soji (Isa Briones) and Elnor (Evan Evagora)
feature alongside appearances by old enemies and friends, such as Will Riker
(Jonathan Frakes), Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis), the Borg Queen (Annie
Wersching), Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), Data (Brent Spiner), and Q (John de
Lancie). Season 3 sees a full-scale Next Generation reunion, featuring Worf
(Michael Dorn), Dr. Beverley Crusher (Gates McFadden), and Geordi La Forge
(LeVar Burton).
Alongside interviews with showrunners, writers, cast, and
crew, discussing concepts and character arcs, “Spotlight” features explore
makeup, costumes, art, and visual effects. A final section features reflections
on the much-beloved character from its original incarnation in Star Trek:
Next Generation through to its final satisfying conclusion.
This beautifully illustrated hardback, featuring
behind-the-scenes and on-set photography, and a range of production art, is an
in-depth exploration of a hugely popular and seminal Star Trek
character.
