These Are the Voyages, TOS, Season One, Volume 1

De: Marc Cushman, Susan Osborn

Narrado por: Vic Mignogna

The audiobook version of the 2014 Saturn Award-winning These Are the Voyages - The Original Series, Season One, at 28 hours, is perhaps the most ambitious audiobook undertaken. Narrated by Vic Mignogna (executive producer and Captain Kirk in the web series Star Trek Continues), this "audio play" documents the creation of the Star Trek TV series and production of its two pilot films and the 28 episodes from its formative first season (1966-67). This unparalleled production boasts a cast of nearly 100, including the voices of many of those who helped make the first Star Trek series.

I loved It!

This was captivating. I am a huge Star Trek fan, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this Audiobook. I can't wait for seasons 2 & 3 of TOS!

Great book

Not so great reading. What on earth is up with Bob Justman’s inflection? I knew Bob. He doesn’t sound like this. I do hope that if they do 2 and 3 the narrator has nothing to do with it. LOVE the fact that some of the guests were available to read their parts.

Outstanding

Been really interested in the making of Star Trek. The voice acting was solid Found out allot of the making of the first season of the show

I finally hear the untold drama

I knew there was drama behind the making of this series, but never to the extent as presented here. This book did everything right: presented us the original drafts of each episode, the filming woes, quotes from cast AND crew, and how each episode performed when first aired and how they were reviewed nationwide.

The Origins Of A Classic

This audiobook gives the details of how the television show Star Trek, The Original Series was brought into existence. . As an audience, we only get to see the final product. But there are are hours and hours of practice in preparation for that performance. This book lets you see the practice before the performance in an insightful and entertaining manner. It also acts as a Master Class into what is involved in getting a production on television on a weekly basis, worts and all. For die hard Trekkers this is an invaluable resource into their favorite show, highlighting the extraordinary effort exerted to bring the show to life with all of the quality that time has shown was executed at the inception of this enduring and beloved pop culture classic. The presentation of the material is inventive and entertaining, with attention to details that helps the listener fully appreciate the hard work the creative team put forth for the benefit of the viewers. Lastly, this audiobook acts as a kind of time capsule illustrating the television landscape in the early days when there were only three major television networks in the United States.
I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone interested in learning what it takes to create a franchise dynasty like no other.

If you're looking for a behind the scenes look

In depth look at the production of Star Trek TOS 1st season on an episode by episode basis. Great for those of us interested in the real details. It's a great listen!

A tour de force!

Easily the most lavish audiobook presentation I’ve ever heard in the almost 20 years I’ve been an Audible subscriber. Mignogna is a masterful narrator and the huge supporting cast lends tremendous verisimilitude to the production

The book is also the most detailed study of the first season of Star Trek TOS.

Best content and performance of any Star Trek book

This was by far the best performed audiobook about Star Trek. It is also the most informative, eye-opening, and downright interesting book about television or film production. I’ve ever heard. In large part due to the extremely candid interoffice memos between the producers and editors of Star Trek. It is not just about the show, it is about how to construct a story and maintain continuity, while using scripts sent in from various brilliant and somewhat egocentric writers. A must read for anyone interested in narrative writing, filmmaking, or story construction.

The most thorough making-of-Star-Trek book I’ve had the pleasure to read!

This is quite possibly the best book on the making of Star Trek TOS I've read. Despite some overdone caricatures in the narration (I'm looking at you, whoever are responsible for reading Shatner and Takei), I'm thoroughly enjoying this book. If you have a credit to spare, or even if you don’t, I highly recommend it. I don't know if there are any others in this series thus far, but I'm going to be on the look-out!

Great backstop about the making of Star Trek

I would have liked more authentic voices of the voice quotes used to flesh out the story. Some were close to what I would expect, but others sounded like someone the program producer grabbed out of the hallway to fill in a voice.
