Über diesen Titel

"A key to the audiobook’s success for fans is its all-star cast — a strong advantage here for audio over print. When a “Next Generation” cast member speaks in 'Fan Fiction,' from Patrick Stewart to Marina Sirtis, it’s that actor’s actual voice you’re hearing." -- The Providence Journal

"Incredible production values (one of the best soundscapes I’ve ever heard, honestly) and some interesting insights from Spiner..."- Locus

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.”

Kritikerstimmen

"Incredible production values (one of the best soundscapes I’ve ever heard, honestly) and some interesting insights from Spiner..."- Locus

"[A] diverting memoir-mystery hybrid...Spiner’s debut is an homage to fans: where would celebrities be without them?" —Publishers Weekly

"Like the man himself, this book is funny, sharp, and brilliant. You’re going to love it, and Brent, even if you’ve never heard of “Star Trek”. It’s one of the most entertaining books ever written about entertainment." —Phil Rosenthal (creator, writer, producer), creator of Everybody Loves Raymond and star of Somebody Feed Phil

Fan Fiction is perfect! I loved that damn book. Lots of laugh out loud moments and real heart. Actor Brent Spiner’s pop-culture infused memoir is hilarious, warm, insightful, and absolutely delightful! Highly recommended!” —Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of V-Wars and Ink

"Brent Spiner’s rollicking meta-memoir is a meditation on celebrity, Hollywood, fandom, ego, and self-discovery, hidden inside a black comedy shell. This wildly entertaining novel opens the doors to the Starship Enterprise and the making of Star Trek: The Next Generation even as it peers into the soul of the actor and the utterly crazy world around him. Richly comic and surprisingly moving, Fan Fiction is a gift to both Trek fans and general readers. So put on your Raymond Chandler fedora, or your Starfleet uniform, and settle in for a wild ride through the underbelly and outer space of Hollywood." —John Logan, screenwriter of Skyfall, Gladiator, The Aviator

"Both laugh out loud funny and painfully dark, Brent Spiner has created a fictional autobiography that is filled with surprises." —Jonathan Frakes

"Brent takes us all on a wild ride in this fanciful tale." —Leonard Maltin

"Of all the pleasures Fan Fiction affords the reader — a gripping plot, deftly and delightfully twisted; an insider’s slant on a pop culture mega-phenomenon; an affecting personal narrative of childhood trauma overcome; an insightful meditation on the ambiguities of fandom — the greatest and most singular is Brent Spiner’s prose style. Dry, urbane, acerbic, self-deprecating and gently absurdist, it evokes a lost age of Hollywood autobiography. If Groucho Marx had played Commander Data, this is the kind of memoir he might have written." —Michael Chabon, Pulitzer-Prize winning author

“This is an entertaining and subversive Brent Spiner in Wonderland.” —Locus Magazine

“...well written, funny, sometimes outrageous, and entertaining.”
Mystery and Suspense Magazine

This is a treat for every Star Trek fan. This story is hilariously absurd and entertaining. As a fan of ST it’s also very nice to get a bit of an insight into the procedures on and behind the set. The voices of the original actors being used makes this even more fun to listen to. The story in itself isn’t to complex but very entertaining and Spinners enthusiasm and complicated relationship with the fans really comes through. This is a special treat for every fan of TNG and it will probably also be entertaining to people that are not that deep into ST.

Very fun, something only Spiner could have written

Brent is a great narrator. It's an interesting thriller-like story with a lot of behind-the-scenes elements. It has everything you want.

fan-tastic

Hilariously funny, innocently cute and wonderfully self-ironic. The original voices paired with a clever auditory background make this one a treat for any fan.

Loretta Gibson - a strike of genious 😍😍😍

It was a huge pleasure listening to this piece. Brent Spiner and the other appearing actors voice this book in a magnificent way

Very witty

What is this? A mystery, biography, comedy, parody, therapy, …? Hard to tell, a little bit of all I would guess. But it is highly enjoyable and pure fun.

At the beginning there is a warning that parts of it may be true, and others definitely are not. For Spiner´s sake one hopes that this caveat applies to quite a lot of the scene, otherwise it would have been SO embarrassing to him.

But - despite the fact that the ending is somewhat out of the blue - it is real fun for the reader/listener. The audio version by the author with the voice snippets from his TNG-co-stars give an extra kick.

What is it? - Pure fun!
