Montgomery Scott, the endlessly resourceful chief engineer of the Starship Enterprise, has been a familiar presence in our collective imagination for over three decades. All around the world, everyone knows "Scotty" - but far fewer know the true story of actor James Doohan, who has brought Starfleet's legendary "miracle worker" to life for three seasons on television and in seven major motion pictures. Here at last are all the colorful details of Doohan's life and times, including how war hero Jimmy Doohan charged the beach at Normandy on D-Day, and how World War II left its mark on him forever; how Doohan landed the part of Scotty on the classic Star Trek television series, and how the character acquired an accent; memories of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and all of the original crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and the feuds and friendships that formed among them; how Doohan made his peace with Star Trek: the Next Generation - and brought Scotty back to television for one very special episode; and the long and affectionate bond between Doohan and generations of Trek fans - and how Star Trek brought true love into Doohan's life.

Industry Reviews

The latest Star Trek: The Next Generation novel from Peter David once again attempts to bring in a character from the original TV series. This time, Trelane, the pesky omnipotent child who plagued Captain Kirk in "The Squire of Gothos," is back as a pesky omnipotent adolescent who temporarily neutralizes the all-powerful Q, who regularly delights in bedeviling the Enterprise crew of The Next Generation. Trelane then sets about making mischief for Captain Picard. He blurs the boundaries between three parallel universes (or "tracks," as they are called here), and the ensuing chaos pits Enterprise personnel against their counterparts in other tracks, causing turmoil for the crew as they pop from universe to universe. Now it's up to the unlikely team of Picard and Q to straighten out the mess and bring the raging Trelane under control. The material is recycled and the prose stolid, but the confusing story is the biggest crime. Only diehard Trekkies will survive the derailment when the tracks merge. (Kirkus Reviews)
