Whether you are a casual viewer or know each episode by heart, Star Trek Voyager: A Celebration should delight you. Brimming with behind the scenes stories (only some of which I knew!), gorgeous photos and rare production design drawings, it gives a real sense of the creative individuals behind the show as well as the familiar actors onscreen.

Here in this book, captured as if in amber, slices of Star Trek Voyager, held in suspended animation, and when ingested through photonic dispersion, can cause your temporal lobe to vibrate at exactly the same frequency as high-energy alpha-driven chronotons, and off you go... - Doug Drexler, Star Trek makeup artist, concept artist, and visual effects artist.
