In 1966, James Tiberius Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise first debuted on television screens, shooting through the stars to explore worlds previously undiscovered. Gene Roddenberry’s creation went on to expand past the limits of its original format, catapulting into a fully-blown cultural phenomenon with the spin-off series, movies, books and audiobooks that followed. Star Trek’s original cult following has grown astronomically as well, cultivating a fan base that includes everyone from the original, diehard Trekkies to newer fans pulled in by recent reboots and remakes.
Star Trek has been breaking boundaries for years. There was a black female lead in the divided 1960s, a daring on-screen interracial kiss that was one of the first ever broadcast on American television, and a multinational crew that included a Japanese-American helmsman and a Russian ensign. With everything from episode retellings to original storylines, these Star Trek titles have expanded the universe far beyond the final frontier – and, in doing so, they boldly go where no one has gone before.
