the maritime influence throughout the series and films
Star Trek is modeled on the world of the 'British Golden Age of Sail' as it is commonly found in the genre of sea fiction. This book rehistoricizes and remaps the origins of the franchise and subsequently the entirety of its fictional world, the Star Trek continuum, on an as yet uncharted transatlantic bearing.
