Autographed by the author Marc Cushman HardCover - Volume Three picks up the story and gives full focus to the development and production of Star Trek – The Motion Picture. Locked into a release date by the studio, Roddenberry and his colleagues scrambled to complete the script, film the movie, and battle a steady stream of problems regarding the making of the special effects, as the company hired by Paramount failed to complete the ambitious sequences and other effects veterans rushed to save the film. Utilizing Gene Roddenberry’s private papers, period media reports, and interviews with Trek stars and crew – many never before published – author Marc Cushman unwinds the hard-to-believe true story of the voyages of Gene Roddenberry and Star Trek in the 1970s.
