Okay I have to admit I'm a Trekkie from the original show was head over heels for Spock and on through all the generations of series that showed on TV; Discovery, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and my favorite Star Trek The Next Generation. I mean who didn't love all the love between species on that show and I like many of you were in LOVE with the captain, but I do have to admit a certain attraction to the Artificial Intelligent super star, Data. So when Macmillan Audio offered me an audio review copy of Data's Brent's debut Fan Fiction and I learned that not only is Data/Brent narrating but every crew member makes cameo appearances I said Yes Please.
Enjoy and Live Long and Prosper!

Overview
This program is read by the author with LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Genie Francis, Gates McFadden, Marina Sirtis, Patrick Stewart, and a full cast.Brent Spiner’s explosive and hilarious novel is a personal look at the slightly askew relationship between a celebrity and his fans. If the Coen Brothers were to make a Star Trek movie, involving the complexity of fan obsession and sci-fi, this noir comedy might just be the one.
Set in 1991, just as Star Trek: The Next Generation has rocketed the cast to global fame, the young and impressionable actor Brent Spiner receives a mysterious package and a series of disturbing letters, that take him on a terrifying and bizarre journey that enlists Paramount Security, the LAPD, and even the FBI in putting a stop to the danger that has his life and career hanging in the balance.
Featuring a cast of characters from Patrick Stewart to LeVar Burton to Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, to some completely imagined, this is the fictional autobiography that takes listeners into the life of Brent Spiner, and tells an amazing tale about the trappings of celebrity and the fear he has carried with him his entire life.
Fan Fiction is a zany love letter to a world in which we all participate, the phenomenon of “Fandom”.
