Summary: If you own one book about TNG, let this be it.
Review: First of all, this book is huge. Really. It is tall and wide as well as being hefty. It does the amazing task of covering 7+ years of television history regarding the show responsible for renewed interest in science-fiction.

The history is indeed an interesting one. Many tidbits are revealed, and if you are a trivia junkie, it will fill the endless void nicely.

The pictures are great, as well as commentary and brief interviews of folks. The only thing I felt that could have been done better were episode summaries. They fell by the wayside a bit; but the sheer volume of information contained in the book makes up for it.

It is well-constructed, and has lasted repeated flipping and reading. That and its size make it an excellent coffee table book. People who have no interest in Trek pick it up and are fascinated by the information. It makes a great gift, for yourself or the TNG fan in your life. Or even, the television trivia buff as well.

Summary: Brilliantly put together and well written
Review: I found the book most interesting and informative. Even though I am a big Star Trek fan and know most of the facts about it. I learnt a lot from this book and the pictures are very good and the text is well written. (Especially the behind the scene pictures are very good) Even for the person who does not know a lot about Star Trek will find this book very good I think... This Book is a must for any Star Trekker!

Summary: This is an excellent tribute to the continuing saga of TNG.
Review: I recently purchased this book to add to my growing Star Trek collection. It turned out to be a great choice. "The Continuing Mission" covers the history of the series, TNG, including its conception, the seven seasons, the two movies. It also has a bonus preview chapter on the making of "Star Trek: Insurrection", which comes into theaters in a week. The writing is funny at times and very easy to follow, and there are color pictures of onscreen shots, drawings, and work behind the scenes. Of course, there are copies of pictures from other Star Trek books, such as "The Art of Star Trek" and the "Sketchbook", but there are less than I expected there would be. The originality and tribute of this book make it a very attractive choice.
