actually read all the separate issues, but figured it would be better to put a rating for the whole book together than them separate. Actually rather liked it.

As someone who grew up watching endless reruns of the original Star Trek TV show, the Year Five collection proved a nostalgic enjoyment with the return of all the colorful uniforms, familiar settings, and even the return of supporting characters and aliens who were never followed up on in subsequent versions of the ST franchise. For those not grounded in the original series, there is little to recommend about the complete Year Five collection.
Brian –
A very enjoyable ride, which bridges the orig television show with the Motion Picture franchise.
Yosef Shapiro –
This volume completes the original five year mission begun on TOS and sets up the events that take at the start of TOS:TMP.
Memphis Evans –
The series concludes perfectly. Six stars out of five. Now I want to go back and read the whole thing again!
