Book: Star Wars vs. Star Trek

Posted November 6, 2011 By shawn and has no comments yet.

I just finished reading Star Wars vs. Star Trek by Matt Forbeck which asks the question “Could the Empire kick the Federation’s Ass?” It is a nice, light, entertaining book that pits various characters and situations from the two sagas. Each section is introduced with a series of trivia questions. I scored 94 out of 120 on those trivia questions, which is 78%. Seven of those errors were for Star Trek questions, which isn’t bad, as I am a Star Trek fan and once spent an hour and a half with Gene Roddenberry. That is another story. Buy the book.
