As an absolute diehard Trekkie/Trekker, when I saw Brent Spiner's new book Fan Fiction: A Mem-Noir Inspired by True Events I immediately signed up to receive a copy without even really reading the description. I'm so glad I did. The basic premise of the book is that Brent Spiner, an actor playing Data on Star Trek: Next Generation in 1991, begins receiving menacing, threatening, and downright bizarre letters from, it seems, an obsessive fan. What follows is a hilarious adventure. The book is packed with appearances by Trek favourites (the cast of Next Generation as well as Gene Roddenberry himself) and while I don't think one needs to be a Trek fan to like the book, certainly the references will be more apparent (and quite possibly more hilarious) to those who do know Next Generation. I don't even like audiobooks but knowing that Brent Spiner will, of course, be narrating this one, I plan to pick up a copy, and I've already recommended the book to several fellow Trek fans in my life. So much fun!
