Publisher's summary
From the program's birth in the changing world of the 1960s and death at the hands of the network, to its rebirth in the hearts and minds of loyal fans, the Star Trek story has blazed its own path into our recent cultural history, leading to a series of blockbuster feature films and three new versions of Star Trek for television.
The Star Trek story is one of boundless hope and crushing disappointment, wrenching rivalries and incredible achievements. It is also the story of how, after nearly 30 years, the cast of characters from a unique but poorly rated television show have come to be known to millions of Americans and people around the world as family.
For George Takei, the Star Trek adventure is intertwined with his personal odyssey through adversity in which four-year-old George and his family were forced by the United States government into internment camps during World War II.
Star Trek means much more to George Takei than an extraordinary career that has spanned 30 years. For an American whose ideals faced such a severe test, Star Trek represents a shining embodiment of the American Dream, the promise of an optimistic future in which people from all over the world contribute to a common destiny.

This book, the only biography ever authorized by a sitting President - yet written with complete interpretive freedom - is as revolutionary in method as it is formidable in scholarship. When Ronald Reagan moved into the White House in 1981, one of his first literary guests was Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Theodore Roosevelt. Morris developed a fascination for the genial yet inscrutable President and, after Reagan's landslide reelection in 1984, put aside the second volume of his life of Roosevelt to become an observing eye and ear at the White House.

Story
Candid, insightful, and powerful, Daring: My Passages is the story of the unconventional life of a writer who dared - to walk New York City streets with hookers and pimps to expose violent prostitution; to march with civil rights protesters in Northern Ireland as British paratroopers opened fire; to seek out Egypt's president Anwar Sadat when he was targeted for death after making peace with Israel.

Story
Beloved stage and screen actor Danny Aiello’s big-hearted memoir reveals a man of passion, integrity, and guts - and lays bare one of the most unlikely success stories ever told. Danny Aiello admits that he backed into his acting career by mistake. That’s easy to see when you begin at the beginning: Raised by his loving and fiercely resilient mother in the tenements of Manhattan and the South Bronx, and forever haunted by the death of his infant brother, Danny struggled early on to define who he was and who he could be.

You may not recognize my name-or my face for that matter-but it's very likely you've seen me at work. I've managed to cram quite a bit into my thirty-year acting career. In fact I've helped put more bums on cinema seats than Will Smith or Tom Hanks. Who else can say that they've helped destroy a Death Star? Defeated an evil sorceress? Taught magic to Harry Potter? Become a Jedi Master? Reluctantly hitchhiked across the galaxy in search of the answer to the Ultimate Question?

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner first crossed paths as actors on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Little did they know that their next roles, in a new science-fiction television series, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated. In 79 television episodes of Star Trek and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine. Over the course of half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows.

This book is so well written and well narrated. Mr. Takei has the knack to write as if he is talking with you. You feel every bit of emotion that he went through. I definitely recommend it to all.

George has been such a force for good in his lifetime. Through relentless work and indomitable advocacy for the humanity in all of us. His embracing of Gene’s vision of what our future could be and his dedication to the many fans that share that hope is inspirational. George Takei isn’t just building a legacy for himself, he’s striving to build the future world into what he knows we can become.

was glad to hear it read from the author as he has a great voice and added all the appropriate emphasis and mannerisms, but it just seemed short
I don't have the paper book for comparison but it seems like the audio should have been at least twice as long since he had such a diverse & interesting past

Loved this book but why only abridged?
What made the experience of listening to To The Stars the most enjoyable?
Listening to Takei is always a pleasure. Listening to Takei talk about his life is fascinating. This is a well written and captivating memoir. My only complaint is that the audible version is a mere 3 hour abridged version. Mr. Takei, please publish an unabridged version!
Who was your favorite character and why?
George Takei as this is his memoir.
Which scene was your favorite?
Many of the scenes relating to Star Trek, especially with regards to William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When his family was sent to their first detention camp/prison and then again when they were sent to an even worse detention camp/prison.
Any additional comments?
Great read. You don't have to be a Star Trek fan to appreciate Mr. Takei's family history as a Japanese-American during World War II. And he provides fascinating stories that relate how hard it is to be an actor. Most surprising is the political work he has accomplished. Well done!

Pretty interesting.
What did you like best about To The Stars? What did you like least?
I liked the Star Trek trivia. Obviously there is much more to Mr. Takei's life than Star Trek, so there were a lot of other memories recounted here, but honestly it was the Star Trek stuff that I bought the book for.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character? It's an autobiography.
What aspect of George Takei’s performance would you have changed?
I know a lot of people like Mr. Takei's voice, but I personally find it kind of abrasive and monotone to listen to in the long run.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No.
Any additional comments?
Pales in comparison to Walter Koenig's book; I think Koenig has more literary talent and ability to capture an audience.
Humour would have made the less interesting parts of his story much more palatable.
