First Contact

The Star Trek: Generations movie successfully transitioned the movies from the Kirk era to the Picard era.

In First Contact-the crew under the command of Captain Picard must travel back in time to stop the Borg from changing history.

The Enterprise crew must make sure the first warp capable spaceship launches thus causing the Vulcans to contact the people of Earth and so set in motion the formation of The Federation.

In First Contact movie-goers got to witness a much more macho Captain Picard. Fists flew, phasers beamed and Picard was relentless and determined to stop the Borg and their queen from changing history.

Jonathan Frakes (Will Riker) directed the film that was co-written by Patrick Stewart.

Each of main bridge officers got to shine in this action-packed, hold-no-prisoners space epic that helped bring the Star Trek film franchise firmly into the digital age.

With a new Enterprise, a ruthless old enemy, time travel and a killer supporting cast First Contact fired on all cylinders.

Author Joe Fordham and Titan Books present the deluxe hardback book with dust jacket (With spot varnish): Star Trek First Contact The Making Of The Classic Film.

Included in the interior pages are sections on sets, costumes, weapons, ships and gadgetry designs.

A close-up look delves into the Borg, especially the Borg Queen. Data shines as he struggles with his android/human conflict and Worf proves that even deep space cannot curtail his Klingon warrior blood.

Will Riker, Chief Engineer Geordi and Counselor Troi had some historical, funny scenes and Beverly Crusher proved to be much more than just a ship’s doctor.

Be sure to look over the sets, costumes and character design sketches, behind-the-scenes photos, cast and crew commentaries and much, much more.

This is movie-making in progress with lots of information on filming techniques, settings up special effects shots, completing a soundtrack and all that it takes to make such a monumental film.

The interior gloss paper stock makes the photos pop as well as the art, sketches, designs and charts.

It's a visual documentary on how a big-budget film is made from start to finish.
