Summary[]

Solicitation blurb

The Autobiography of Mr. Spock tells the story of one of Starfleet's finest officers, and one of the Federation's 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 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's loved, and experience the triumphs and tragedies of a life and career that spanned a century. His struggle to find his place in the universe is one we can all relate to.
