Star Trek<\/em> has a very interesting relationship with time, and not just because the franchise is turning 60 later this year. Aside from thousands of years of history presented across every\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> show as normal, the franchise has now given us a whole multiverse of realities born from myriad timelines, from more traditional parallel universes like the Mirror Universe to branching deviations like the Kelvin Timeline. It can be pretty confusing even for the dedicated follower of a temporal mechanics class at Starfleet Academy\u2014so it\u2019s a good job our<\/em> timeline is getting a big fancy new book to cover it all.<\/p>\n

This week DK announced\u00a0Star Trek Timelines: A Visual Voyage Through Generations of History<\/em>, a new reference book coming later this year. Written by Derek Tyler Attico, Kelli Fitzpatrick, and Star Trek Adventures<\/em> scribes Michael Dismuke and Jim Johnson,\u00a0Timelines<\/em> will chart the known chronology of\u00a0Star Trek<\/em>\u2018s universe, literally from the Big Bang to its death, covering the events of every Star Trek<\/em> show and movie from its first 60 years, from the golden age of space exploration in classic\u00a0Trek<\/em> to the far-flung future of Starfleet Academy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But what makes\u00a0Timelines<\/em> even more of an interesting project is that it\u2019s not just doing a potted linear history of the prime\u00a0Star Trek<\/em> universe. It\u2019s taking into account the ways time travel has wreaked havoc on that chronology too, the way it\u2019s helped spawn different realities like the Kelvin Universe (the divergent Mirror Universe will also be included, even if its roots don\u2019t come from temporal manipulation) to the many aborted timelines we\u2019ve seen over various Trek<\/em> stories, like\u00a0Voyager<\/em>\u2018s Year of Hell, or the future visions seen in things like the TNG<\/em> finale \u201cAll Good Things.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s about as complete a guide to\u00a0Trek<\/em> up to this moment in time that we\u2019re going to get any time soon (although who knows, it probably doesn\u2019t contain anything from\u00a0Strange New Worlds<\/em>\u2018 fourth season, due sometime this year, and almost definitely not anything from\u00a0Starfleet Academy<\/em>\u2018s final season). But with\u00a0Trek<\/em> on TV seemingly about to take another break again, it\u2019ll be good to have a mostly complete guide to its history to pore over while we wait to see what the future holds for the franchise.<\/p>\n

Star Trek Timelines: A Visual Voyage Through Generations of History<\/em> is set to hit shelves November 3.<\/p>\n
