Chronicles the greatest Starfleet captain's life in his own words. From his youth spent on Tarsus IV, his time in the Starfleet Academy, his meteoric raise through the ranks of Starfleet, and his illustrious career at the helm of the Enterprise, this in-world memoir uncovers Captain Kirk in a way Star Trek fans have never seen. Kirk's singular voice rings throughout the text, giving insight into his convictions, his bravery, and his commitment to the life--in all forms--throughout this Galaxy and beyond. Excerpts from his personal correspondence, captain's logs, and more give Kirk's personal narrative depth.
Reviews with the most likes.
The author took the various small references to Kirks life before TOS, like his saying he's from Iowa in ST4. They seemed consistent with the character and what we knew from the many TV episodes and movies.
I have been watching Star Trek since it was first on the air in the 60's and I much enjoyed this book.
I especially liked the stories of what happened after the events presented in the episodes.
