Fantasy/SF/Horror Book ReviewsPage Two of TwoStar Trek Voyager: The Hologram's Handbook by Robert Picardo, Illustrations by Jeff YagherPocket Books, April, 2002Trade paperback, 82 pages ISBN: 0743437918 Ordering information: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk 
One of the most entertaining characters on Star Trek:
Voyager was the Doctor, who was so ably portrayed
by Robert Picardo. Written in character as the Doctor himself,
the Hologram's Handbook is a wildly entertaining guide to the
philosophy, life and loves of Voyager's Emergency
Medical Hologram. His views on the rest of the
crew, odd human habits and his own magnificence are
all hilariously detailed in the Doctor's own, unmistakable
voice. Particularly funny is the chapter entitled,
"Anatomical Correctness: The Program Upgrade of Kings."
This is a must-have for any Voyager fan.
Picardo is a natural writer, and we cannot but hope that
he will venture further into the world of publishing.

Ok, you're stranded on the planet Varl, and you
don't speak a word of Huttese. What to do?
Well, if you have your handy Galactic Phrase
Book & Travel Guide with you, you've got
nothing to worry about. Simply shout out the
appropriate phrase: Ap-xmasl keepuna!
(Don't shoot!) and proceed to negotiate (money

on Tatooine, to how to make first contact with
an Ewok to renting a spacecraft, all the handy
phrases are here -- along with some very helpful
traveling advice for those journeying through the
Star Wars universe. This is an indispensable
little book that every Star Wars fan must own.
