Fantastic...

I have been looking for something like this for a while. For someone who plays Star Trek RPG with friends this is completely indispensable. The detail and richness of this book are fantastic. Almost the entire known universe is available at the end of the book with 4 large foldout maps that fit together if taken out. It features anything that is know, any planet and race and star system that was mentioned anywhere. The print is razor sharp and glossy in high color.
One thing I would have added to this book is a planet and star index with page and coordinates in order to find things easier. Other than that i give it 5 stars anyway.

A Constant Reference

I have pulled this book off the shelf numerous times since I bought it a few weeks ago usually as a challenge. The game is that I catch a snippet-a planet name or such-on TV or a movie, and quickly look to see if it's in here. I have yet to be disappointed. It's all here. While it would seem short for its steep price, this atlas is worth every penny for the pedantic Trekker who needs everything just right. My only gripe is that I wish there had been more details regarding some of the more important destinations. An index would have been nice to help find some of the more obscure places, too. Regardless, this is great for those who enjoy both the scientific and political aspects of Star Trek. There's something for everyone. Here's hoping there comes an updated edition in the future that features some of the spots Enterprise has visited.

Curious book, lots of map, classification of planets, etc. I expected it to have more info about Archer's Enterprise, who mapped what, where Archer stooped and where Kirk stsrted. Or more info about the relantioship between the Vulcan High Comand and Stargeet, but the book has som 100 pages of maps, based in some stuff that recllad the "cold war" period or ven the North/South Korea stuff. Expcted a more informative book, as an Atlas falls short...hardcore fans may disagree, but there mut be better books...
