GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR BEST HISTORY & BIOGRAPHY
As much a biography of Nimoy as an autobiography of their friendship, this is a uniquely heartfelt book written by one legendary actor in celebration of another.
"A fond remembrance of Leonard Nimoy by one who knew him like no other." Kirkus Reviews
"Shatner offers up a lovely and moving tribute to his beloved friend." Booklist
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy first met as journeymen 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 seventy-nine television episodes and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine.
Over the course of nearly half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows. In this powerfully emotional book, Shatner tells the story of a man who was his friend for over fifty years, recounting anecdotes and untold stories of their lives on and off set, as well as gathering stories from Nimoy's close friends and family to present a full picture of a rich life. William Shatner has worked as a musician, producer, director and celebrity pitchman, and notably played Captain Kirk on Star Trek from 1966 to 1969 and in seven Star Trek films. He won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his role as attorney Denny Crane on the TV drama Boston Legal.
David Fisher is the author of more than fifteen New York Times bestsellers, including William Shatner's autobiography Up Till Now.
