Jack Lawson writes: "Star Trek Genesis is a very personal look back at the original Star Trek series. By the time the Animated Series began in 1973 I was a devoted Star Trek fan, having watched all the episodes, many several times. In this book I stroll down memory lane with my personal reaction to each of the 78 episodes, along with valuable information on all the episodes, presented in their original broadcast order. (There are appendices that list all the episodes in production order as well as in alphabetical order.)
Star Trek Genesis is aimed at those fans who entered the Star Trek universe with The Next Generation or later and who wonder at all the fuss about the Original Series. (If it is really as primitive as it appears, how did it gain such iconic status?) But longtime fans as well might find the book interesting. For example, you might be interested in seeing my opinion on your favorite episode. Good? Bad? Average? Indispensable? Abominable?
Read Star Trek Genesis and then write me and tell me what you think of my opinion."

Erratum! In the article on Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, I erroneously report that the stolen spaceship blew up. I mixed up my notes on the episode when writing this piece. The stolen spaceship was actually a Federation shuttle, which the Enterprise recovered to return to its starbase origin. My error. Sorry.

Star Trek Genesis is a private publication. It is not authorized by CBS or Paramount.
It is an original and personal retrospective. It is not to be confused with the "Genesis" episode of The Next Generation (seventh season), nor with the Genesis Project of Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan, nor with the Genesis Wave series of books by John Vornholt. (And especially not with Genesis II, Gene Roddenberry's non Star Trek pilot.)
