Publishers becker&mayer and 47NORTH have sent TrekCore some exclusive preview images from David Goodman’s highly anticipated upcoming book, Star Trek Federation: The First 150 Years. The book is packed full of information chronicling the pivotal era leading up to Humankind’s First Contact with Vulcan in 2063, the Romulan War in 2156, the creation of the Federation in 2161, and the first 150 years of the intergalactic democracy up until the year 2311.
