Love the original Star Trek? Remember Colorforms? Enjoy reliving your childhood? If you answered yes to all three questions then you will definitely want to get your hands on the upcoming Stuck on Star Trek from Universe Publishing. The spiral bound book features ten different settings from the original series, from the Bridge to Sickbay to a scene from Vulcan, as well as more than 70 "Kling-on" stickers depicting the original characters, along with a "Red Shirt" (if someone has to die), villains, phasers and an endless supply of those horny little Tribbles. Users can create new memories or relive old ones by using the vinyl "Kling-on" stickers in various scenes from the original and beloved Star Trek series. The book also comes with a fold-out stand for display purposes.

Stuck on Star Trek is illustrated by Joe Corroney, who also serves as illustrator for the Star Trek comic books that are currently published by IDW Comics (and they are quite good, too). The illustrations are outstanding and perfectly capture the look of the original series. In addition, the "Kling-on" stickers offer a few unexpected surprises and four stickers can be used as disguises for the various characters and were featured in the original series. For instance, the coat and tossle cap that Mr. Spock wore in "The City on the Edge of Forever" can be inserted over his blue Starfleet uniform. I should mention that I had some trouble removing a few stickers from the pages and will likely keep them attached to various scenes, instead of trying to reattach them to their original pages. However, that is just one small issue with an otherwise outstanding product. Finally, I have been a Star Trek fan since the 1970s when I used to watch reruns of the original series every weekday afternoon and, as a long time fan, I highly recommend Stuck on Star Trek. 

Stuck on Star Trek will be available February 26 from Universe Publishing.
