FictionStar Trek 3 by James Blish Assignment: Eternity by Greg Cox The Eugenics Wars: The Rise & Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume One by Greg Cox The Eugenics Wars: The Rise & Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume Two by Greg Cox Strange New Worlds III Smith, Ordover, Block, eds. Strange New Worlds VI Smith, Ordover, Block, eds. Strange New Worlds VIII Smith, Block, Kassin, eds. Strange New Worlds IX Smith, Kassin, Block, eds. Strange New Worlds X Smith, Block, eds. The original series episodes were adapted into short story form by noted science fiction author James Blish (Cities in Flight, etc.). His version of "Assignment: Earth" virtually eliminates the feel of the story. Seven and Lincoln appear as minor elements. After reading this I came up with the idea to write my own version, but from Seven's point of view. The three novels have been authored by Greg Cox. While one might hope for an Æ project that isn't tied to Trek, we'll take what we can get. Assignment: Eternity is fun and involved, and we get to see a possible outcome for the team of Seven and Lincoln. The Eugenics Wars pair open in 1974. Gary Seven watches with growing concern as the children of a top secret human genetic engineering project called Chrysalis grow to adulthood. In particular, he focuses on a brilliant youth named Khan Noonien Singh. Can Khan's dark destiny be averted, or is Earth doomed to fight a global battle for supremacy? The Strange New Worlds series is an annual collection of fan fiction. Each of these volumes contains a story with Gary Seven as a major or supporting character. |

DC ComicsStar Trek #s 49 & 50 Star Trek: Revisitations Beginning in the 1980s, DC Comics held the licence to publish Star Trek comic books. Previous publishers included Gold Key and Marvel Comics. However, DC produced a consistent, high-quality product, and the books remain fan favourites. To celebrate the 50th issue of Star Trek, they decided to bring back Gary Seven. An interesting story, it adds some new elements to his tale. The trade paperback collects Star Trek #s 22–24 with Harry Mudd, and #s 49–50 with Gary Seven and Isis. |

ServoThe top photo appears to be the original prop. The antennae are curved and the knurled rings are flush with the barrel. It has a chromed finish. The bottom two images are a modern replica made for the collectors' market. The antennae are straight, the knurled rings are raised, and there are additional cuts into the barrel around the rings. This one has been machined from aluminum. |

Roberta's DressFrom The Star Trek Sketchbook: The Original Series: "This dress was important since it was worn by the Roberta Lincoln character, who was intended to be the co-star of a new television series. The mid Sixties are reflected visually whenever Roberta appears. The colours and material [William Ware] Theiss used for this dress, although mildly psychedelic, are really quite mainstream for the time." Photo: Casey Brown · Courtesy Butterfield & Butterfield. |
