Background[]

  • This book uses the titles "Charlie's Law" instead of "Charlie X" and "The Unreal McCoy" instead of "The Man Trap", using the original script names for episodes.
  • The first edition of the book carried the simple title Star Trek. When Bantam began publishing more novelisations by Blish, the book was retitled Star Trek 1.
  • The cover art for this book is taken from the publicity artwork used by NBC to promote the first season in the fall of 1966 (several other NBC series were featured in similar artwork). The painting depicts the characters as they appear in the second pilot, "Where No Man Has Gone Before", although that episode is not adapted in this volume.
