It's called "Future Perfect - How Star Trek conquered planet earth" by Jeff Greenwald. He talks about his travels getting to grips with Trek and its fans. So far it has shown a delightful balance of US and UK elements, and the insights into the dark and twisted human being that is Brannon Braga are worth the price of admission.<P>It's published by Viking (a division of Penguin), and has managed to get me into good spirits - which for me is quite an achievement.
