 THIS TITLE HAS BEEN TEMPORARELY PUT ON HOLD. PLEASE CHECK BACK TO THIS PAGE TO SEE WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. THERE IS CONFLICTING INFORMATION FROM THE VENDOR REGARDING THE FORMAT OF THIS RELEASE. 

 If you think that you know everything about the original series of Star Trek...You Do Not! This is the most comprehensive behind the scenes informational extravaganza that I have ever experienced!!! I listened to this work of art at work for an entire week and it was a pleasure to my pointed ears. I couldn't wait to get back to work the next day to continue listening.

 The audiobook version of the 2014 Saturn Award-winning These Are the Voyages - The Original Series, Season One, at 28 hours, is perhaps the most ambitious audiobook undertaken. Narrated by Vic Mignogna (executive producer and Captain Kirk in the web series Star Trek Continues), this "audio play" documents the creation of the Star Trek TV series and production of its two pilot films and the 28 episodes from its formative first season (1966-67). This unparalleled production boasts a cast of nearly 100, including the voices of many of those who helped make the first Star Trek series.

 A cast of nearly 100 voice actors chronicle the birth of Star Trek in the new Audiobook, based on Marc Cushman's These Are The Voyages series.

 Notable guest performers include Adam Nimoy, reading the quotes and letters of his father, Leonard Nimoy, and Chris Doohan, who plays Scotty on Star Trek Continues, reading the quotes from his father, the original Lt. Commander Scott, James Doohan. Also featured, among countless others, Rod Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator/producer Gene Roddenberry. And Ralph Senensky, D. C. Fontana, Joe D'Agosta, Clint Howard, and Craig Huxley. Vic Mignogna of the award-winning web-series Star Trek Continues is the narrator, taking you back in time to the Star Trek writers' room, production offices, and onto the sound stages to witness the making of this historic TV series.

 Critical assessment:
Actor Vic Mignogna, who has played Star Trek’s Captain Kirk on the fan-made series Star Trek Continues, has taken on an enormous task in his latest project, narrating the mammoth behind-the scenes look at classic television and creator/producer Gene Roddenberry in an audio play adaptation of the Saturn Award winning These Are the Voyages– ST: TOS Season One–nearly 29 hours in all. Master researcher and TV historian Marc Cushman has meticulously crafted several volumes detailing the Golden Age of Television, including four volumes (and fifth on the way) of Star Trek history. With the new audiobook, Cushman has assembled nearly 100 voice actors, including several Star Trek insiders quoted in the book, who returned to voice their contributions from Cushman’s first book in his series. Among the voices you’ll hear writer Dorothy Fontana, writer Ronald D. Moore, actor Clint Howard, casting director Joe D’Agosta, actor Sean Kenney, and director Ralph Senensky, plus sons of Leonard Nimoy (Adam) and James Doohan (Chris) voicing their fathers’ quoted material, and other surprises, like Mythbusters co-host and Star Trek Continues actor Grant Imahara as the voice of George Takei. The result is a fantastic way to kick back and enjoy the long-lost past and inner-workings of your favorite 1960s sci-fi series. Marc Cushman’s adaptation of his own work, with Susan Osborn, smartly distills his lengthy first volume into the key narrative elements – Gene Roddenberry’s arrival in Hollywood, the development of Star Trek, Roddenberry’s assemblage of creators, directors, producers, writers, and actors for his series, and the episode-by-episode chronicle of the ups and downs of season one. Mignogna is a fantastic choice to walk the audience along, a mix of 1930s radioplay storyteller and Ken Burns’ award-winning series of documentaries. For anyone afraid of embarking on a lengthy 658-page non-fiction book in an Audiobook Format, this is your answer. – C.J. Bunce, borg.com
