United Federation of Planets Journal is a 251-page Star Trek zine. It has the subtitle, "Dedicated to the Universal Understanding of I.D.I.C.."

From the title page, "The IDIC -- translated from the Vulcan (Surak's Koon-ut-kal-if-fee Vulcansis) Editor's note: You may find this translation to be a bit verbose and excessive. I have found the Vulcan language to be the most difficult fo the non-terran languages to adapt to English. I have made several attempts to simplify it, but with each attempt, the Vulcum idiom was lost. I felt that, in this case, simplicity must lost prominence to the depth of Surak's challenge to his people"

Reactions and Reviews

Another wretched Mary Sue, a good story by Steve Barnes, poetry -- not really, verses would be kinder, art is wroth the price -- gorgeous. Contains a poem by De Kelley himself, revered in lovely and graceful calligraphy by Mrs. Kelley. Well bound, attractive, excellent layout. The price seems a bit steep to me. [1]
