JANUARY 13, 2022 - When Grudge the cat joined the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery in 2020, who knew that she would have so much to say? After Grudge finally got some of the attention she deserves in the recent Star Trek: Discovery episode “Stormy Weather”, it’s only fair that she has her fifteen minutes of fame in the literary world. The wait is over. The Book of Grudge is available now from Hero Collector and Penguin Random House.

With the help of New York Times bestselling author Robb Pearlman (to whom Grudge begrudgingly dictated her thoughts), The Book of Grudge brings to life her view of the world with thoughts on humans, life, Michael Burnham, dogs, and much more! Grudge’s musings cover everything from space travel to the proper care and training of various alien species. You’ll also find Star Trek-inspired quotes and haiku meditations on her most favorite things, including napping and people (as long as they’re far enough away). The Book of Grudge comes in at 96 pages with plenty of exclusive illustrations and - of course - plenty of pictures of Grudge from the set of Star Trek: Discovery.

An excerpt from the introduction of The Book of Grudge:

“I can’t tell you how many questions I get. If it’s not ‘Please, My Queen, do you prefer to be addressed as “Your Highness” or “Your Majesty?”,’ it’s ‘Why are you waking me up in the middle of the night?’ or even ‘I’m deathly allergic to cats – where’s sickbay?’ But perhaps the question I’m most often asked is ‘When are you going to write a book?’ I’m sure this universal need for my unique perspective is catalogued in any number of sphere data or Starfleet archives, or buried within any number of Soong or Coppelius-android’s internal systems. So, if for no other reason than to be left alone, I present my first book.

You’re welcome.”

Robb Pearlman is the author of more than 30 books, including Fun with Kirk and Spock, Body By Starfleet, and Starfleet Is… and many other unique, fun-loving adventures. The Book of Grudge is housed in a beautiful hardcover edition at an RRP of US $14.95/$19.95 CAN.
