However, when William Shatner came up with the notion of doing a series of novels about a young man who wants to grow up to become a starship captain, I am the writer who took that notion, crafted those tales and wrote the five books of the top-selling Quest for Tomorrow series that had William Shatners name on their covers. As Bill himself put it:
"Bill Quick is a terrific writer and is, as I'm sure he's been told many times in his life, quick - to write, to think, and to be creative. My debt to him for this book goes far beyond acknowledgment."
