All things related to science fiction books

Destination Star Trek London: 19 – 21 October 2012

I’m not sure my love of all things sci-fi began with Star Trek, but since that very first time I saw Captain Kirk on the bridge of the Enterprise when I was a child, I was totally and utterly in love with it and all that the Star Trek universe represents. So, I’m counting down the days until this event, and I was super excited to see this photo, tweeted by Trek News, of all five Star Trek captains together for the first time at Wizard World’s Philadelphia Comic Con, I actually didn’t know that they had never been pictured together before.

It looks like you can book tickets now on the website, www.startreklondon.com, with guests on the website being listed as: Dominic Keating (Malcolm Reed), Connor Trinneer (Trip Tucker), Walter Koenig (Chekov), Arlene Martel (T’Pring), Robert O’Reilly (Gowron), J-G Hertzler (Martok), Gwynyth Walsh (B’Etor), William Shatner (Captain Kirk), Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard), Avery Brooks (Captain Sisko), Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway) and Scott Bakula (Captain  Archer).

It looks like it’s going to be a great event. Parties, Photo Shoots, Autograph signings and Talks means that I don’t think there will be a dull moment. I’m going to be keeping a close eye on this one, dust off my Spock ears and I hope to see you there.

The science fiction bookshelf

Next Read: R is for Rocket by Ray Bradbury. A collection of short stories published in 1962. There doesn't seem to be much around regarding the stories themselves but lots of reviews, it seems to be like Marmite where people either love them or hate them, this should be interesting.
