From the dust jacket: Gene Roddenberry created a mythology for the twentieth century: Star Trek. One of the most successful television shows and cultural icons of all time, Star Trek was from the beginning a forum where its creator and its viewers could explore the most fundamental questions of life: What is the difference between sexuality and love?

His imagination is bold and unbreaking, his instinct for the aptest detail is sure-fire. Here is an unignorable debut." - Steven Heighton, author of the bestselling novel The Shadow Boxer "Rife with the blackest humour, quirky, unadorned, Oscar Martens' stories are full of characters on a collision course with each other and with the world. In the resulting aftermath, we gain this original new voice, this dark, edgy satirist of the human condition." - Nadine McInnis, author of the acclaimed Quicksilver Tapping into the voyeuristic human compulsion that attracts us to the dirty little secrets of people's lives, Oscar Martens' stories peel back layers of contemporary… Read More
