Star Trek: Ships of the Line
Devo dizer que andei a namorar este livro desde o primeiro momento em que vi a publicidade a este livro nas páginas da revista SFX.There has never been a Star Trek book like this one.
Imagined scenarios, new worlds and historic battles are all brought to life between its pages, as settings for the spectacular starships which have graced the Star Trek universe throughout all five television series.
This is what happens when you turn loose some of the most talented computer generated artists in Hollywood - who also just happen to be Star Trek fans - and ask them to create images they would like to have seen on Star Trek.
Over the past seven years, wall calendars called Star Trek: Ships of the Line have displayed breathtaking art, specially commissioned for the Ships of the Line series, only to be discarded at the end of the year. To celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Star Trek, the best calendar images of Star Trek battleships have been collected together, with new additional descriptions and history to give them their proper setting in the Star Trek universe.
The result is a sumptuous visual record and a magnificent reference book which any Star Trek fan would be proud to own.

Recebi hoje da Amazon UK este magnifico livro, na sua versão hardcover, por um aceitável preço de £10, aproveitando uma promoção de Natal.
E ao desfolhar as primeiras páginas as expectativas ficaram realizadas com a qualidade gráfica e as fabulosas imagens das naves.
O conteúdo do livro está dividido em sete capitulos:
- Human Warp Flight - Phoenix; NX Class (a primeira Enterprise NX-01); naves Vulcan, Romulan, Tholian e Andorian; e a Bonaventure Class, a transição para o design que conhecemos em Star Trek TOS.
- The Creation of a Legend - Dedicado a Enterprise NCC 1701.
- The Finest in the Fleet - Next Generation. Enterprise C e D, Excelsior Class.
- Of Gods and Men - Defiant, Deep Space 9. E a descoberta do mistério do desaparecimento da Columbia NX-02.
- There will Always be an Enterprise - Enterprise E, como a conhecemos nos filmes.
- Delta Voyager - Voyager, Borg, Species 8472. Imagens da batalha final da Prometheus e Voyager contra os Borg.
- Semper Exploro - A imagem espectacular de todas as naves Enterprise... e talvez uma futura Enterprise F ou G.
Cada capitulo vem acompanhado de curtos textos - o que pode ser algo desanimador - geralmente frases mais ou menos conhecidas frases de políticos, filósofos, ou cientistas famosos, ou frases retiradas das próprias séries e filmes.
Neste aspecto o livro está pouco elaborado, mas pela qualidade gráfica das imagens será algo a ter em conta para fans universo do Star Trek.
Pela minha parte fiquei satisfeito.
