Summary: The Complete Awesomeness of Star Trek
Review: This book can let you know all about the federation's evil no do gooder enemies the Klingons and BORG! We here at the Institute for higher star Trek Learning believe this book to be quite useful for kids going off to star fleet academy across the river from the IFHSL. This book made me lose my stools when i first saw the Counselor Deanna Troy Pullout, yum yum, I don't need to tell you any more about that deliciously delightful honey buns. Anyways, this atlas is the pinnacle of start trek information texts. Good day.

Summary: Wonderful Star Atlas
Review: This book is a great treat for anyone that is very interested in maps or geography of the fictional kind. Great graphics and maps of many places that Star Trek fan would be familiar with. It's also a "historical" atlas highlighting different places in each of the show and movies.

Summary: Even cooler than it looks!
Review: This is a beautifully illustrated book with sharp colors and easy to read text. It is a must-have for a fan of any of the shows that has wondered "How close is that to Vulcan?".I was just going to flip through the book until I could get time later to read it. But I was captivated with the layout and colors. Before I knew it, an hour had passed. Get this book before you watch another rerun.

Summary: Every Fan NEEDS this book
Review: This is a full color book that helps put the whole ST universe into perspective. That is a wonderful thing for people like me who need visual aids to make sense of some things. It's nice to know where the Federation is in relation to all the other places in the galaxy, or what in heaven's name a K class planet is, or what exactly a sector is and what all these things look like. Marvelous. I loved seeing the Vulcan system illustrated. And I enjoyed seeing the flight paths of the many ships, including the Vulcan survey ship and Zephram Cochran's short trip. THE ONLY THING MISSING IS AN INDEX. IF THE AUTHOR READS THIS, AND GETS A CHANCE TO REPRINT--MAKE AN INDEX... PLEASE! It would be great to be able to find a planet or system someone is mentioning in an episode or book just by the name of said system/planet like one can in a regular atlas of the world. Scanning the page you hope it's on just doesn't cut it. I've only found a couple when I needed it.

Summary: Extremely well done graphics
Review: Very high-quality, full color graphics on every page. Diagrams of every part of the 'known' galaxy. Flight paths of the all the series' major ships (including several pages of Voyager's journey home from the Delta quadrant). Nice catalog of all the planet types (class M etc.) as well as the known planets (Earth, Vulcan, Q'onoS etc.) Definately belongs in any Trekies' library.

Summary: An Outstanding New Look at the Star Trek Universe
Review: When one deals with as potentially complicated (and sometimes contradictory) a thing as the "geography" of the galaxy as described by the various Star Trek series and films, it's always a challenge to get a good understanding of just what's going on. To lay it out in a set of charts is even more of a challenge. Geoff Mandel has met this challenge, and done it very, very well. While this new book is a very different way of looking at Star Trek's known space than the previous seminal publication on the topic--Bantam's Star Trek Maps, published over two decades ago--Mr. Mandel does the job excellently, bringing an even greater sense of verisimilitude and realism to the topic. When one is done reading this book, one can believe in the galaxy shown here, and believe that it could be the world that Star Trek's starships and stations and people inhabit. Visually, this book is a treat, and it's filled with details that will keep the reader coming back to it again and again. A few small errors--a typo here, an erroneous date there--do not detract significantly from the overall rich tapestry of pictures and maps and the sheer volume of fascinating information contained within this book. Indeed, if there's one major negative to this book, it's that it's simply not enough. I wanted more, more starmaps, more planetary system details, more of all the things that are going to make this book an important part of my collection. I hope Pocket Books can be encouraged to do another edition, and expand it. As it is, though, I still highly recommend _Star Charts_. It's a huge amount of fun, and is absolutely worth your time and money. Buy it!
