Star Trek: Designing Starships Book 3 by Ben Robinson

The third volume in this acclaimed series focuses on the J.J. Abram's Star Trek films - featuring nearly 20 ships, including the new Enterprise

Explore the process behind the creation of the ships features in the Star Trek, Star Trek: Into Darkness and Star Trek: Beyond films. This is the story of how some of the most talented designers in Hollywood created STAR TREK's starships from the first sketches to the finished models that appeared on screen.

This book covers nearly 20 new ships from the modern STAR TREK movies, from the new Enterprise to a fleet of Federation ships that was barely seen. Along the way it covers the thinking behind Klingon and Romulan ships and the heavily-armed U.S.S. Vengeance.

This third volume in the Designing the Starships series collects the profiles and design history from the rebooted Star Trek Kelvin Timeline film universe. The Kelvin Timeline is an alternate reality timeline in which the current Star Trek film universe operates. It is named after the ship captained by Captain Kirks father in the first of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films, the U.S.S. Kelvin.

Ships included: U.S.S. Enterprise, U.S.S. Enterprise-A, Narada, U.S.S. Kelvin, Spock's Jellyfish, U.S.S. Yorktown Space Station, and many more. Includes 6 ships that were designed for the final sequence of Star Trek: Beyond which were not used and have never been seen before.

Ben Robinson is best known as the creator of Eaglemoss' Official Star Trek Starships collection, which has grown to be the largest and most well respected collection of model Star Trek ships ever manufactured in the previous three years. He's been working on Star Trek for 20 years. Ben was the founding editor of the wildly popular Star Trek Fact Files reference book, which has sold more than 50 million copies worldwide. He then went on to edit Star Trek: The Magazine in the United States from 1999 to 2003. He co-wrote two Haynes Manuals, the first of which covers all seven Enterprises and the second of which is dedicated to the Klingon Bird-of-Prey.

Ben is particularly enthusiastic with the series' writing, design, and visual effects. He has undertaken extensive interviews with many of the most important characters in Star Trek's history, from Dorothy Fontana and Matt Jefferies to Michael Piller, Ira Steven Behr, and Ron D. Moore, as well as Bryan Fuller
