Summary

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner first crossed paths as actors on the set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. Little did they know that their next roles, in a new science-fiction television series called Star Trek, would shape their lives in ways no one could have anticipated. In seventy-nine television episodes and six feature films, they grew to know each other more than most friends could ever imagine.

Over the course of half a century, Shatner and Nimoy saw each other through personal and professional highs and lows. In this powerfully emotional book, Shatner tells the story of a man who was his friend for five decades, recounting anecdotes and untold stories of their lives on and off set, as well as gathering stories from others who knew Nimoy well, to present a full picture of a rich life.

As much a biography of Nimoy as a story of their friendship, Leonard is a uniquely heartfelt book written by one legendary actor in celebration of another.

Critic Reviews

Shatner delivers a raw and honest look at the life of Leonard Nimoy through the filter of someone who loved him like a brother. "Star Trek" fans aren't the only ones who should read this definitive biography of the man who was much more than Mr. Spock
That this biography was written by the subject's close friend, and is interwoven with elements of Shatner's own autobiography, has obvious benefits.
The book works as an enjoyable, affectionate biography.
All stars

Brilliant book, William Shatner is a legend, as is Leonard Nimoy. Amazing stories, and research has been done to give the reader a glimpse into his life. Sad to hear from Shatner’s perspective the final years of their friendship. Must listen for any Trekkie like me. LLAP friends

Love Spock and Kirk

Theres a lot of content in here also in Shatner's various biographies so i feel like i know him in-depth. I believe it to be a deep tribute to his best friend, so fascinating learning more about Leonard and his rise to fame. My husband was like WTF are you listening to? Is this all about Spock?!! But i just love shatners voice, its so relaxing.

Perfect for diehard fans
