I guess Paramount’s lawyers either didn’t know about this foreign (probably Chinese) knockoff, or decided they’d never get enough money out of what was probably a fly-by-night company to make the effort worthwhile.
Wow! Thanks so much for digging up this interview. I loved Mr. Nimoy’s summary of Star Trek as “a moral society,” and this was the first I’d ever heard that he was writing a novel! I wonder if he ever finished it or what ever became of it.
I’ve read most of Mr. Nimoy’s poetry, and I thought it was more earnest than skillful, but it certainly showed him to be a sweet, lovely, and thoughtful person. Even if his novel were also more earnest than skillful, I’d love to read it, to see what it reveals about its author.
Such a lovely interview Therese. Makes us miss even more. Thanks for finding this gem.
Sometimes you just get lucky!
Pardon my off-topicness: 🙂
Ever wondered what kind of redesign Scotty might have produced for the good old Enterprise after way too much Scotch?
Wonder no more.

This, and many other knock-off toys of various franchises, can be found in this article from the blog Dangerous Minds.
LOL!! I’ve actually been collecting images of Trek merchandise for posts here, and that’s a definite candidate! Thanks Kid!
