David A. Goodman (London: Titan Books, 2015)
I enjoyed this book very much. As a long-time Trek fan, I was intrigued by the chance to get to know the "life story" of James Tiberius Kirk. This fictional autobiography is so well written that there were times I believed I was reading the biography of a factual person. Goodman does a remarkable job of interweaving the fictitious back story of Kirk with action and dialogue from actual episodes and movies. He also incorporates the crew of The Original Series in chronological order so the reader can enjoy the maturation of those characters as well as Kirk.
Overall, I highly recommend this for any Trek fan, old or new. Embrace your inner nerd with this salute to Kirk.
