„Der Weltraum, unendliche Weiten. Wir schreiben das Jahr 2200. Dies sind die Abenteuer des Raumschiffs Enterprise …“ Diese ikonischen Worte leiten die bekannteste Science-Fiction-Serie der Welt ein. William Shatner, bekannt als Captain James T. Kirk, spielte eine zentrale Rolle. Von einem hasserfüllten Rassisten in einem B-Movie entwickelte er sich zu einem Symbol für Fortschritt, als er in einer Episode seiner Serie eine schwarze Kommunikationsoffizierin küsste, was in den USA für Aufsehen sorgte. In seiner warmherzigen, humorvollen Autobiografie erzählt Shatner von seinem Leben zwischen Extremen: als einsames Kind in Montreal zum weltweiten Publikumsmagneten. Trotz seines Ruhms engagiert er sich auch für wohltätige Zwecke, unterstützt therapeutisches Reiten und unternimmt mit über 80 Jahren eine 2.400 Meilen lange Motorradtour, um Spenden für bedürftige Veteranenkinder zu sammeln. Sein Leben war geprägt von traumatischen Erlebnissen, wie dem Unfalltod seiner Frau, und Triumphen, wie dem Gewinn eines „Golden Globe“ und eines „Emmy“. In diesem fesselnden Buch teilt er originelle Gedanken zu Liebe, Leidenschaft, Hass und Menschlichkeit. Dabei begegnen dem Leser auch prägende Figuren wie Mr. Spock und Dr. McCoy. Diese Autobiografie ist ein ehrliches Porträt eines empfindsamen und kultivierten Menschen.
