"The authors have done an exhaustive, masterful job of collecting interviews and editing memories, opinions and reflections of hundreds of creative artists, business executives, critics and even the occasional social scientist. What emerges is an intriguing look inside the sausage-making process that is television and film production." - The Wall Street Journal on The Fifty Year Mission "Slayers & Vampires is a new primary text to pour over, with plenty of behind-the-scenes tidbits about who hated whom and how TV shows are made."- The New York Times Book Review on Slayers & Vampires "Breathtaking in scope and depth, this is a must-read for Star Trek lovers as well as anyone who wants a better understanding of how television and film production works" - Booklist on The Fifty Year Mission "A tantalizing Star Trek tell-all. perhaps the most comprehensive compendium of Star Trek knowledge you'll ever find" - Emmy Magazine on The Fifty Year Mission
