WARPED FACTORS "A Neurotic's Guide To The Universe"
       "Beneath the tinsel of Hollywood", Oscar Levant once said, "is the real tinsel."
      Beneath that lies a cornucopia of absurd behavior and bizarre experiences that rival the most creative silver screen fiction. As a young transplant from New York in the 1950's and '60s Walter Koenig quickly came to know Hollywood as a place of energy and opportunity where life's c uncertainties loomed large. Launching an acting career in this unpredictable cultural cauldron, he wound his way through various misadventures befor finding he had attained a degree of success that surprised even him.
      This is Koenig's story - from growing up as the neurotic child of Russian immigrants in 1940s Manhattan through his rise to Star Trek fame as Pavel Chekov, Russian navigator of the U.S.S. Enterprise, and beyond. Not a typical Hollywood memoir, Warped Factors is anything but aloof. Koenig's very human narrative is full of the kind of insecurities and quirks anyone can relate to. With wry wit, striking candor, and a true gift for storytelling, Koenig takes us on a sometimes bumpy but hilarious trip through his galaxy.

     -Pitching a story to an NBC producer who is in the midst of an out-of-body experience
     -Having a loaded gun placed in his ear by a jealous manager
     -Performing a controversial play that was interrupted by someone believed to be a member of the American Nazi party dressed in the uniform of a Chicken Delight delivery boy.
     -Being mistaken for a bellhop during a public appearance in his Star Trek uniform.
     -Decling a Star Trek convention attendee's invitation to help sacrifice a chicken in her hotel room.
     -Of course, this amusing memoir also takes us behind the scenes of Star Trek, with fresh perspectives not only on the cast members themselves but also on the development and evolution of the megalithic sci-fi legend. In fact, Koenig includes a number of the script ideas he himself pitched over the years, including a proposed outline for "Star Trek VI" (one that saw the deaths of several main crew members including Kirk) and several for "The Next Generation" series. Also included are Koenig's notes to producer Harve Bennett on "Star Trek II:The Wrath of Khan", as well as his commentary on several other projects.


     
Finally, Koenig offers candid reflections not only on the Star Trek years but on his life and career since. Most notable are his well-received stints on stage and his current role as the insidious Alfred Bester on television's "Babylon 5" Enjoying both critical and popular success, Koenig has once again confirmed his enduring position in science fiction's acting pantheon.
