TREK Authors and Shatner Co-Writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens Beam Aboard ENT

Features

By Steve Krutzler / 12:36, 6 August 2004 / Enterprise

The new-look STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE continues to take shape for the upcoming fourth season. Just as new executive producer Manny Coto has promised to bring more ORIGINAL SERIES and NEXT GENERATION ties to the stories on the prequel series, the show now welcomes two writers eminently qualified to deliver on that promise.

TrekWeb has confirmed that Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens have joined ENTERPRISE as story editors. The Reeves-Stevenses are two of the STAR TREK fiction world's best authors, having written six original TREK novels, four non-fiction entries, and more. They're also well-known for their contribution to the eight 'Captain Kirk' novels co-written by William Shatner: THE ASHES OF EDEN, THE RETURN, AVENGER, SPECTRE, DARK VICTORY, PRESERVER, CAPTAIN'S PERIL, and CAPTAIN'S BLOOD. The ninth novel in the series, CAPTAIN'S GLORY, is scheduled for release in 2005.

The Kirk novels are well-known for bringing the various eras of STAR TREK together, putting Kirk with other characters like 'Picard' in adventures that span the galaxy and tie in with innumerable elements of STAR TREK continuity. One of the sharpest criticisms of the prequel series has been its fast-and-loose adherence to established STAR TREK canon, a phenomenon that can often doom franchise-based television series and feature films. Most recently, the new film CATWOMAN was derided by fans of the comic for deviating from the source material; the film made a poor showing at the box office. The intricate knowledge and sometimes obsessive dedication that franchise fans possess has moved into the mainstream, with Hollywood courting fan favor at huge events like the San Diego Comic Con and reaching unparallelled success with adaptations like the SPIDER-MAN and X-MEN films.

The Reeves-Stevens' other TREK novels include FEDERATION, PRIME DIRECTIVE, MEMORY PRIME, and the DEEP SPACE NINE: MILLENNIUM trilogy. Their non-fiction STAR TREK books include THE MAKING OF STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE, THE ART OF STAR TREK, STAR TREK: PHASE II - THE LOST SERIES, and STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION - THE CONTINUING MISSION. In addition, they also wrote an issue of the illustrated NEXT GENERATION comic series for DC Comics. In 2003 they provided a new interview for the Pocket Books omnibus collection WORLDS IN COLLISION, a trade paperback compilation of MEMORY PRIME and PRIME DIRECTIVE. One of their next projects with William Shatner will be the recently-announced STARFLEET ACADEMY novels featuring a young James T. Kirk.

In addition to their STAR TREK work, the Reeves-Stevenses have served as supervising producers on the syndicated TV series SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE'S THE LOST WORLD and have written for animated series including FLASH GORDON, PHANTOM 2040, and BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES, as well as a made-for-TV movie, MY TEACHER ATE MY HOMEWORK. Their non-TREK novels include QUICKSILVER, ICEFIRE, DARK MATTER, NIGHTEYES, CHILDREN OF THE SHROUD, DREAMLAND, BLOODSHIFT, the ALIEN NATION novel DAY OF DESCENT, and the GALEN SWORD trilogy. Most recently they wrote the animated direct-to-DVD feature VAN HELSING: THE LONDON ASSIGNMENT.

I thought you were talking about Matrix.
Well, I’ll disappoint you and say that I am not Anderson and that I don’t have so many e-mails for 4 different nicknames. And don't be such a git.

Cheers!
