I absolutely love this book, not just because I'm a Trekkie, but this is also an excellence reference tool when one writes sci-fi. Bormanis is clear, concise, to-the-point and his explanations of scientific or astronomical phenomenon doesn't overload non-scientific minded people. In fact, his writing style is engaging and sometimes even conversational, particularly when he speculates what doesn't exist could be possible some day.

You definitely need to be a Trekkie and a nerd to understand this book. Good thing I am both!
I loved how the science, imagination, and the worlds of Star Trek meshed in this book. It was fascinating and quite interesting.
To see how they took science and incorporated it into the Star Trek world without it seeming ridiculous is informational and enlightening.
