  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  First and foremost, thank you, Dave Rossi, tor your unexpected phone call to write this book, and John Van Citters at CBS Consumer Products for listening to Dave and hiring me. And thank you both tor invaluable help on the manuscript. Also thanks to: Mike Sussman, Chris Black, Brannon Braga, and Paula Block for your notes and support; my three editors: Amelia Riedler, whose initial contributions were vital in shaping this project; Kristin Mehus-Roe, who had the unenviable task of making me deliver on deadline and who did an incredible amount of work whipping the manuscript into shape; and Dana Youlin, who had to step in at the end to wrap this up. Also, Gabe Stromberg for his incredible designs, Todd Rider for that pedestal (and George Takei for showing up to record Admiral Sulu), and Tom Miller for all the production work.

  When I started writing this book, I was partially inspired by an old book I had in high school, The Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology, my copy of which I passed on to my younger brother Rafael in l984. My hope is he doesn’t lose this copy. Also, thank you to my sisters Naomi Press and Ann Goodman, and my mother, Brunhilde Goodman, for only rolling their eyes but never making me actually turn off Star Trek until it was over. Finally, my children Jacob and Talia, and my wife, Wendy, who are really the only reasons I do anything.
