I know I'm really deep into Trek because this book bothered me the whole way through, something about the mix of tongue-in-cheek wink-winkiness with actual potentially useful fill-in information about Vulcan. It's OK when you have a travel guide for something like Twin Peaks that the guide speaks to everyone you know in the town—it's a small town. But there are other famous Vulcans than, like, Tuvok. Why would Tuvok be giving a quote to a travel book? Especially if it's not making a joke about how he's the best traveled Vulcan in the universe? I cannot believe I typed those words. It's over. I'm a humorless Trekker now. I'm so sorry. **This book was reviewed via Netgalley** Planning an interstellar vacation? Ward's nifty Vulcan travel guide will give the lowdown on Spock’s homeworld, to help you have the most fulfilling experience possible. It is only logical. Written as a modern travel guide, this little book is packed full of fun facts and knowledge of Vulcan. At times, Ward employs a wry sense of humour with certain asides. When discussing terms spoken in Vulcan only that one may come across, he advises the traveller to not try fal-tor-pan at home. This is the reintegration of a Vulcan’s katra, or spirit, with their living body. Vulcans tend to be portrayed as emotionless and logical, but that notion rings somewhat false when you start learn there are plenty of gaming and multicultural establishments around the planet. You can take a coastside lounge along Lake Yuron, and stay in an underwater hotel, visit the exotic lava fields known as the Fire Plains, trek through the Forge, or visit the solemn sanctuaries at Mount Seleya, among other things. You can even find a Quark’s. I loved this! I would so be going on a trip to Vulcan. The artwork was amazing as well. Each section has a prologue from a famous Vulcan, from Spock to Tuvok, sharing personal stories of the region. This little gem will appeal to any Trek lover. 🎻🎻🎻🎻🎻 Highly recommended HIDDEN UNIVERSE TRAVEL GUIDE: STAR TREK VULCAN by Dayton Ward is a imaginary travel book for people wishing to travel to the planet Vulcan. Ward dissects each major Vulcan City into categories, from sightseeing to lodging & food to local nightlife. Ward gives plenty of Vulcan history along the way, including how the Federation has influenced and changed the Vulcan culture. As a Star Trek fan, I really enjoyed this book. While I got many of references to the previous shows and movies, I'm sure an even bigger trekkie would pick up on and appreciate even more than I did. It's very tongue and cheek the way the book is structured as a travel guide. I laughed out loud and some of the warnings along the way in a book, like "Dealing with an Unexpected or Unwanted Katra", and how to avoid being eaten by wild animals indigenous to Vulcan. I also want to visit Surak's Last Resort as soon as possible. A major figure in our knowledge of Vulcan personalities introduces each section. I really felt like Ward did an excellent and entertaining job writing from each character's voice and what each one said rang true to me. What a treat this was to read and the illustrations and maps were awesome to look at as well. I look forward to more Star Trek travel guides and I feel like HIDDEN UNIVERSE TRAVEL GUIDE: STAR TREK VULCAN is a must have for a serious trekkie. Thank you to Insight Editions, Dayton Ward, and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"Noted Star Trek novelist Dayton Ward wrote Star Trek: A Travel Guide to Vulcan, and the book hilariously refuses to break character even when it describes the way that visitors to this world might be drawn into a conflict over a Vulcan arranged marriage." --Nerdist Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
