BOLDLY GO

The beloved star of Star Trek, recent space traveler, and living legend William Shatner reflects on the interconnectivity of all things, our fragile bond with nature, and the joy that comes from exploration in this inspiring, revelatory, and exhilarating collection of essays.

Long before Hollywood put him on a starship to explore the galaxy, long before he ventured to space, William Shatner was gripped by his own quest for knowledge and meaning. He believes that awesome possibilities are everywhere; that if we open our eyes, ears, and minds, we'll quickly be overcome by the wonder that surrounds us. Though his eventful life has been nothing short of extraordinary, Mr. Shatner is never so thrilled as when the word "wow" escapes from his lips, a wondrous expression of child-like delight at learning something new. There is much to be conquered before he rests, many worlds to discover.

In these informative, affecting, entertaining, and sometimes heartbreaking pages, William Shatner shares his own experiences, some of them delightful, others tragic, but all deeply meaningful, to reflect on the miracle of our collective existence, how we are bound to one another and to nature, what those relationships have come to mean over his long life, and what he has learned along the way. Included are fascinating stories, told with his pitch perfect timing and dramatic flair featuring larger than life figures and experiences.

It's been a busy time for Mr. Shatner, vibrant sage and the wildly relevant 90-year-old American icon, who's just rocketed back from outer space (the oldest human ever to venture there) and into a voraciously demanding media frenzy.

William Shatner is an actor, performer, bestselling author, songwriter, sportsman, explorer, creator, beloved father, grandfather, husband, and friend. With 2.5 million-plus Twitter followers and a loyal, ever-expanding fan base, William Shatner is a New York Times bestselling author. Shatner continues to act, write, direct, produce.
