A new trade paperback due out next year will continue the adventures of The Next Generation<\/em> in a mockumentary style book.<\/p>\n Star Trek: The Next Generation – Warped, An Engaging Guide to the Never-Aired 8th Season<\/em> was written by Mike McMahan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The synopsis from Gallery Books<\/em> explained what fans can expect in the book, which will be sold as a trade paperback and an eBook. “On Twitter, Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> lives on for one more season in the form of @TNG_S8<\/em>\u2014a satirical eighth season that never aired! Each tweet to its more than 85,000 followers (and retweeted four times that amount) is a hilarious recap and spot-on exaggeration of one of the most beloved TV series ever aired. Now, @TNG_S8<\/em> creator Mike McMahan presents an officially licensed mockumentary-style book-length ‘episode guide’ to Season 8. With colorful illustrations by Joel Watson<\/strong> of the HijiNKS ENSUE<\/em> webcomic, and Jason Ho<\/strong>, longtime artist at Bongo Comics<\/em> (publisher of the comic book versions of The Simpsons <\/em>and Futurama<\/em>), each ‘episode’ contains plot descriptions, trivia, aliens new and old, set photos, and behind-the-scenes looks at the troubled production. This book will appeal to casual and obsessive fans alike, keeping the world of the show intact while hilariously exaggerating it.”<\/p>\n “I thought it would be fun to create an artifact from an alternate version of our universe: a tongue-in-cheek guide to the production of an — admittedly silly — season of TN<\/em>G.” said McMahan “I had a great time taking the tone of the jokes in @TNG_S8 a<\/em>nd applying them to the expanded format of a guide, which gave me room for crazier episodes, dialogue, trivia, and plenty of Riker. I hope fans enjoy laughing with Geordi, Data, Worf and good old Barclay as much as I enjoyed writing their antics.”<\/p>\n The Twitter<\/em> feed on which the book is based can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A new trade paperback due out next year will continue the adventures of The Next…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2456,2416,2442],"tags":[7406,3027],"class_list":["post-34838","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","category-fandom","category-star-trek-tng","tag-star-trek-the-next-generation-warped-an-engaging-guide-to-the-never-aired-8th-season","tag-twitter"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Books<\/a> Fandom<\/a> Star Trek: TNG<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: TNG","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34838","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34838"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34838\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34844,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34838\/revisions\/34844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34838"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34838"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34838"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
