Terry J. Erdmann has authored several non-fiction Star Trek books chronicling the production process, and more. These include "Star Trek: Action," "The Secrets of 'Star Trek: Insurrection,'" and "The Tribble Handbook."

In this exclusive interview for STARTREK.COM, Erdmann talks about these experiences and the process of putting a book together, such as the definitive "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion." This exhaustive guide covers seven years of production in great detail and Terry was there to record the process!
