The Maritime Influence Throughout the Series and Films

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The future of Star Trek is modelled on the world of the British Golden Age of Sail as it is commonly found in the genre of sea fiction. Star Trek and the British Age of Sail re-historicizes and remaps the origins of Star Trek and subsequently the entirety of its fictional world - the Star Trek continuum - on an as yet uncharted transatlantic bearing.
