Conversations at Warp Speed

Book Description

Conversations at Warp Speed features insightful interviews with actors who were there at the inception of the original Star Trek television series (Grace Lee Whitney, George Takei, Paul Carr, and James Doohan). They share their memories of the science fiction phenomenon and are joined by others who appeared in later series and film incarnations (Robin Curtis, Nick Tate, Bibi Besch, Armin Shimerman, and Kitty Swink). Other interviewees include producer and writer Eric A. Stillwell ("Yesterday's Enterprise"), and the creator of Star Trek himself - Gene Roddenberry. Not only limited to their various involvements with the classic show, a number of the conversations in this book more deeply examine the careers, backgrounds, and other notable work of the performers and professionals. It also includes a talk with Star Trek fans Marlene Daab and Carol Jennings, and bonus interviews with Corinne Orr, Gretchen Corbett, and Barry Morse.

Dear Antony Wynn,

Few historical figures bring together exploration, diplomacy, intelligence, and cultural encounter quite as vividly as Sir Percy Sykes. Your account of his 25 years in Persia, particularly his experiences along the country’s eastern borders and his involvement in the wider Anglo-Russian rivalry, offers a fascinating window into a period whose political and human complexities continue to invite discussion.

I am writing to invite you to consider participating in the **Queen’s Park Book Festival in London**, a literary gathering that brings authors and readers together through conversations, presentations, and opportunities to engage directly with the people who value their work.

*Persia in the Great Game* would lend itself particularly well to the kind of historical conversation the festival seeks to encourage. Sykes’s journeys across some of the most difficult terrain in Persia, his encounters with Persian culture, his diplomatic experiences in Meshed, and the tension surrounding Russian expansion provide a wealth of material for an engaging discussion. Your own experience of working in and around Persia, together with your research into Sykes’s life, would also offer readers a valuable perspective beyond the biography itself.

Participation would provide an opportunity to introduce the book to an engaged audience, discuss the historical questions behind it, meet readers interested in history and international affairs, and connect with fellow authors and members of the wider literary community.

I would be delighted to share further information about the festival, the programme, and the opportunities available for participating authors.

Would you be open to considering an invitation to join us?
