Once the cool introduction is over, the development of the story in the novelization isn't so distinct from the actual events shown on the film, and it's well known that the story on the movie wasn't that good, actually too similar to a plot already used in an episode from the TV series, but also with a slow rhythm that it complicates to make it as a strong presentation. So, Starfleet Command used the Enterprise and Captain Kirk as propaganda symbols to impulse the public image of Starfleet and the encouragement of new recruits.įor that reason, the "patch" of the Enterprise became the emblem of the entire Starfleet and James T. It seems that at that time, there were a lot of cases of missing vessels, desertions and even mutiny. Kirk was the first commanding officer able to return to Earth having completed a 5-year mission of deep space exploration with his starship in operational status and with a reasonably full crew. The novelization gives a deeper understanding of what happened and why, once the historical 5-year mission of the USS Enterprise ended. Since George Lucas indeed wrote the original script but for obvious reasons wasn't able to invest the proper time to write the novelization of Star Wars, I found quite odd that Gene Roddenberry would actually write a novelization from a script made by other people.Īnd I am a Trekker, but I am using just a logic way of thinking here. Of course, here I am talking about the actual process of passing months typing and adapting the script to a novel prose format. So, I supposed that it sounded good that both creators of the two sci-fi franchises would be the writers of the novelizations of the movies. I think that all was due the "competition" between Star Trek and Star Wars, and since around that time, was published too the novelization of Star Wars (known nowadays as Episode IV: A New Hope written by George Lucas, and while that was already exposed that it was indeed Alan Dean Foster, at that time. This is the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture, written by Gene Roddenberry, but I think that Alan Dean Foster must be the "ghost writer" of the novelization. The Final Frontier goes to the Big Screen!
