In celebration of one of science fiction's most beloved franchises, an updated edition of the acclaimed Ships of the Line hardcover collection. They dared to risk it all in a skiff of reeds or leather, on a ship of wood or steel, knowing the only thing between them and certain death was their ship. To explore, to seek out what lay beyond the close and comfortable, every explorer had to embrace danger. And as they did so, what arose was a mystical bond, a passion for the ships that carried them. From the very first time humans dared to warp the fabric of space, escaping from the ashes of the third World War, they also created ships. These vessels have become the icons of mankind's desire to rise above the everyday, to seek out and make the unknown known. And these ships that travel the stellar seas have stirred the same passions as the ones that floated in the oceans. While every captain has wished that their starship could be outfitted in the same manner as the sailing ship H.M.S. Beagle--without weapons--that proved untenable. From the start, Starfleet realized that each vessel, due to the limited range of the early warp engines, must be able to stand alone against any attack. Thus arose the idea, taken from the days of wooden sailing ships, that every Starfleet vessel must stand as a ship of the line. Through the actions of their captains and crews, countless starships have taken on that role. Here we remember some of those ships and their heroic crews. In celebration of one of science fiction's most beloved franchises, this updated edition of the acclaimed Ships of the Line hardcover collection now includes dozens of additional images brought together for the first time in book format--spectacular renderings featured in the highly successful Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar series. With text by Star Trek's own Michael Okuda, the story of each of these valiant starships now comes to life. (TM), (R), & (c) 2014 CBS Studios, Inc.

Disappointed Uncle - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is an ideal gift idea for a Star Trek fan. Its a decent buy if you can get it for 20 bucks or less. Do not pay more than 20 bucks for this. It is more or less an art book. The images are beautiful. Sadly you only get one image per ship. As you see in the picture that I took and uploaded. Addditionally, with the picture there is a small paragraph about the particular event the ship. It will decribe what it went through in a given sscene and an image of the ship in some kind of scene. You will not get any in depth overview of any ship or any stats. . If that's what you want this is not the book for you. With that in mind, its your call if you want this in your collection. Like I said in the beginning its a great gift or to add to a collection but not ideal for a stand alone item.
