What is Kirk's serial number? Who matched Troi's chocolate-eating interest in "Liaisons"? What class of ship was the Valiant? If you can answer these questions, then you can beam with pride as you pore over "The Definitive Star Trek Trivia Book: Volume II" and not have to constantly refer to the back for the answers. If you can't, well, maybe this book will motivate you to brush up on your knowledge by watching more Star Trek. And that's not such a bad thing, is it?

This collection of trivia, covering the first four series and first nine movies, is not for the casual viewer or the faint-of-heart. This is die-hard stuff for true Trekkers who watch and love every incarnation of the show. But there is a certain satisfaction in knowing Captain Janeway's favorite flavor of ice cream, or who said "Don't call me Tiny." Especially when you're matching wits with your friends.

It's not just page after page of textual questions, but also "Optical Data" where you're challenged to identify the character, species or ship pictured, or the episode depicted. There are sections on "Gods and Superbeings," "Alien Possession," "Visions, Dreams and Illusions" and other interesting categories.

Volume II is available on Amazon.com as an easily downloadable eBook, so you don't have to wait for shipping. We hope to see a Volume III soon with new questions from Captain Archer's century.

Now answer this: According to Riker in "Contagion," Fate protects fools, little children, and _____ ______ __________. Come on, you can do it!
