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.

That quote from the 2nd Star Trek film sums up the 50 year relationship between Shatner and Nimoy. This book affectionately brings two lives together, in honest revelation and memory.

"I have been and always shall be your friend"

Thoroughly enjoyable. The first hour is hard work if you're not familiar with the story of the American television revolution of the 50s and 60s but it's worth sticking with it. Overall it's a beautiful story of one man's life and career as told by a good friend who wanted us all to understand him a little better. I'd recommend this to Trekkies, aspiring actors or people who just love a well-crafted biography. :-)

Slow start, wonderful finish.
