Lawrence J Cohen has been a Trekkie since he was 8 years old and the cartoon Star Trek was on Television. He and his friends, including Evan Seidman and Eddie Hernandez, LARPed Star Trek decades before the term was invented. When Evan got the original Enterprise blueprints for a birthday present, the friends made a cardboard bridge, putting stuffed animals into stations where officers were lacking. When Larry got the Original Series Technical Manual for his 11th Birthday Present, he asked his engineer father to build him a working communicator set and tricorder, only to be disappointed; the schematics were fictional--most of the components to build the things hadn't even been invented yet, in 1976. Still, it would've been very cool to have working communicators for the Bicentenial Celebration, and he and Evan got the next best thing: walkie talkies shaped like communicators. Naturally, Larry had the entire Enterprise play set and action fictures by MECO.

He started writing stories in a spiral bound notebook when he was ten, and hasn't stopped since.

To date, Lawrence Cohen has completed two Star Trek manuscripts, a Nova Class Starship Technical Manual geared toward players of LUG's Star Trek Game, as well as a number of adventures for Last Unicorn Games Star Trek: The Next Generation Role Playing Game. He is editing them now; one has been posted here to date: Where Angels Fear to Tread. Download them and enjoy as needed! Spread the stories around!
