There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it.

It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance.

If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!

That said, if they don't release a #StarTrekProdigy art book it will be a literal crime.

An impossible crossover done right. Legendary Trek VFX mastermind Dan Curry is joining Trek Talks 5 to pull back the curtain on how Deep Space Nine seamlessly stepped into the world of The Original Series in "Trials and Tribbleations"—one of the cleverest technical feats in Star Trek history.
