Volume One of THESE ARE THE VOYAGES, Marc’s comprehensive three-volume biography of the making of Star Trek: The Original Series, is now available as an expanded edition through Jacobs Brown Media Group with more than eighty pages of new information, including the final thoughts and observations of Leonard Nimoy before his passing in 2015. Volume One of THESE ARE THE VOYAGES is also now available as an audiobook
