I intend to burn the midnight oil this side of the Atlantic and attend the event this time out myself. Prepare to be blown away by Bodo Hartwig's work, and the acting talent of our wonderful cast.

Casting for the recurring part of Bacari Jata, the Grissom navigator, seen on the bridge in STIII, is now complete. We are delighted to announce that the role of Jata will be played by William Raymer. Based out of Yuma, Arizona USA, William comes to the Grissom cast with a variety of talents. He is an experienced voice actor with Pendant Productions for which he can be heard in a variety of roles-most notably “Dennis/Denise” in the company’s original series “Once Upon a Time in Vegas.” William will join the crew of the doomed Grissom commencing Audio episode 3, next year.

Well done William and welcome to the Grissom family. In the interim, thanks to all who auditioned, we will keep you on file for future cameo roles. A special kudos to Kevin Lynch for his tribute to Scottie, which he included with his audition file!

The year is 2285. Political turmoil and secret military build-ups grip the Alpha Quadrant as rumours of an epic starship battle in the Mutara Nebula, and a secret project gone terribly wrong, reach the troubled citizens of the United Federation of Planets.

In an atmosphere of paranoia and suspicion, the U.S.S. Grissom (NCC-638) is assigned to undertake a mission with galactic consequence and of the utmost secrecy. Under the command of veteran Captain Jonathan T. Esteban, the Grissom will undertake this mission, unaware it will be her last.

UPDATE

Star Trek: Grissom episode 2 'The Price of Virtue' principal recording is now complete. Many of the cast from the USA, Scotland, Germany and UK joined the Irish crew in Dublin for the weekend of September 11th last to record Episode 2 'The Price of Virtue' in the professional studio setting of The Cauldron Studios in the heart of Dublin. A fun weekend preceeded the Sunday recording, commencing on the Thursday night and a great time was had by all, with many fine restaurants and trendy bars filling in the gaps between highlights such as Trinity College, Guiness Storehouse, Dublinia, not to mention trips to the fishing village and ports of Howth and Dunlaoighre respectively. Amazingly, we had an Indian Summer and the weekend was a scorcher weatherwise. We look forward to welcoming more of our cast next year.

In the interim, the episode, with a wonderful and cohesive cast of 30 actors, will now undergo transformation at the hands of our episode Director, Bodo Hartwig. Look for a tentative release at the end of 2009. This is in line with our 2 x hour long episodes a year policy. Well done to all our wonderful cast and crew.

The next prose episode of Grissom 'The stars my destination' will be released end Oct 2009, and feature major insights into Commander Stephanie Ottair and Lt.Lars 'Thor'Thorsen. Also, with the proximity of the Mutara sector to Tholian space, the Tholians investigate the recent detonation of the Genesis device.
