New adventures are in store on Gene Roddenberry’s fabled final frontier, and theLogBook.com founder/head writer Earl Green brings you a guide to Star Trek old and new in the same format as the VWORP! guides to Doctor Who (in fact, the two are compatible and cross-referenced).

Covered in WARP!1:

• Star Trek: The Original Series
• Star Trek: The Animated Series
• Star Trek: The Original Series Movies
• Gene Roddenberry’s 1970s Pilots & Movie Projects
• The Lieutenant (the first TV series created by Roddenberry, which brought him into contact with such actors as Leonard Nimoy, Gary Lockwood, Nichelle Nichols, and Walter Koenig)

Starting with WARP!1, the WARP! books will cover the original series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, and the new movies, complete with episode-by-episode reviews and behind-the-scenes notes.

This book collects choice cuts from Earl Green’s long-running blog, Scribblings From The Public Restroom Stalls Of The Gods, and juicy morsels and tidbits from his disturbingly long-running, self-published ‘zine, all contained in one handy volume, waiting…watching…biding its time until it can attack again.

(Wait, this sales pitch needs a rethink. When’s the deadline again? …oh.)

VWORP!2

theLogBook.com webmaster Earl Green’s unauthorized and uncensored guide to Doctor Who 2012-2013 and its TV and audio spinoffs

With nearly 50 years of adventures recorded across several media, the BBC’s international smash hit DOCTOR WHO is one of the most deeply explored fictional “universes” in TV or literary history – partly because it intersects with our own in so many places.

VWORP!1 is just the beginning of your complete guide to the travels of the TARDIS, pointing out noteworthy original series adventures to fans of the new series, and finding hints of the show’s larger narrative in some of the oddest places.
