FedCon 28 | Vortrag | Es lebe Star Trek!

In August 2018, after more than twenty years, a comprehensive work on the phenomenon “Star Trek” was finally published in German language! Author & journalist Björn Sülter takes us on a time travel through more than 50 years, tells the stories behind the scenes and illuminates strengths, weaknesses and dramas.

Since 1966, the phenomenon “Star Trek” has kept its worldwide fan community in suspense. The love for the characters, their stories and the utopian world view has inspired many. Started with the adventures of Captain Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway and Archer, Star Trek has developed a loyal and committed fan base. Since 2009, the successful reboot cinema films have provided just as much discussion material as the recently launched television series Star Trek: Discovery.

The creation and course of each series and each film are examined in detail. A detailed part also deals with the new feature films and Star Trek: Discovery. Author Björn Sülter presents the book in his reading Es lebe Star Trek! (Long live Star Trek!) at FedCon 32 and offers a cross-section of all topics. He will also sell and sign his book at his own booth and is looking forward to interacting with the fans!
