The Autobiography of Mr. Spock
The Autobiography of Mr. Spock | David A. Goodman
3 posts
Fictional autobiography of the iconic Star Trek character, told in his own words and telling the story of his life, including his difficult childhood, his adventures on the Enterprise, and his death and resurrection on the Genesis Planet. "The Autobiography of Mr. Spock" tells the story of one of Starfleet's finest officers, and one the Federations most celebrated citizens. Half human and half Vulcan, the book, written in Spock's own words, follows his difficult childhood on the planet Vulcan; his controversial enrollment at Starfleet Academy; his adventures with Captain Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise; his diplomatic triumphs with the Klingons and Romulans; and his death and amazing resurrection on the Genesis Planet. We meet the friends he's made, the women he loved, and experience the triumphs and tragedies of a life and career that spanned a century. Despite his alien blood, his struggle to find his place in the universe is one we can all relate to.

I don't know why the database lists this book as being written by that Goodman guy. It was written by Una McCormick, an excellent writter, a even better academic and an all around delight. Restarted it three years after first trying it. Covid ate my brain.

“It has long been my custom, before embarking upon a great voyage, to set my affairs in order.“

Bookwomble The Memory Alpha wiki says this about it: "First announced with a October 2018 release date associated with author David A. Goodman, it was later promoted as edited by Una McCormack with a revised release date in September 2021." Amazon still has a secondary association with Goodman, and I guess that's where Litsy has picked up the incorrect info. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Autobiography_of_Mr._Spock 4mo
tournevis @Bookwomble Good to know, but sad for Una. 4mo
Bookwomble @tournevis True. Litsy, along with StoryGraph, often seems to default to alphabetical ordering of multiple authors regardless of their actual priority. It's annoying! 4mo

tournevis @Bookwomble But it makes mistakes regardless. I entered my latest book myself, placing myself as the main author, and my name starts with an earlier letter than my collaborator, and she still got first billing in the tag. 🤷‍♀️ 4mo
Bookwomble @tournevis Yeah, I've had the same thing happen on books I've added (not written, though! Go you! 🖖😃). It's an annoying system peccadillo. 4mo
tournevis @Bookwomble Also, thanks! 4mo

Started this on the train. Una is a wonderful author (and a very nice person) who always perfectly nails character voices, and she delivers here. Very much enjoying it. Also, I know for a fact that this Goodman guy did virtually nothing on this book. Yet, he gets credit. Grrr.
