Exclusive First Look: The Autobiography of Mr. Spock

Star Trek's most famous Vulcan is finally getting his full story told.

By Scott Collura

He has been... and always shall be... our friend.

And now the most famous Vulcan of them all, Mr. Spock, is getting his autobiography released thanks to Titan Books, the same folks who previously gave us The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard and The Autobiography of James T. Kirk. Like those books, The Autobiography of Mr. Spock was written by David A. Goodman and will be an "in-universe memoir chronicling the story of one of Starfleet's fan favorites." It will also include an eight-page full color-plate section and will be published in hardback by Titan on October 16, 2018.

Here's the logline for the book:

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.

About the Author: David A. Goodman was born in New Rochelle, New York. After graduating from the University of Chicago, he moved to Los Angeles in 1988 to write on the television sitcom The Golden Girls. Since then Goodman has written for over 15 television series, including Wings, Dream On, Star Trek: Enterprise, and Futurama (for which he wrote the Nebula Award-nominated Star Trek homage “Where No Fan Has Gone Before”). But he is probably best known for his work on Family Guy, for which he served as head writer and executive producer for six years and over 100 episodes. He is the author of Star Trek Federation: The First 150 Years. He lives in Pacific Palisades, California, with his family.
