Seven In Lap Of Luxury

In summer of 2007, after several years on the convention circuit, Seven went into semi-retirement. But she wasn't just sent off to the old show car's nursing home.

John Mercer has never been one to do things the ordinary way. Instead, he's built a sort of shrine to Star Trek and Seven on the property near his home.

An extensive collection of memorabelia lines the walls that are painted the same yellow as the car they surround. Autographed photos surround the car as if the stars themselves are watching over Seven. Starships hang from the rafters above, as if docked in her orbit. There's a professional-grade tool chest and work bench for repairing and maintaining Seven and the state-of-the-art computer that sits on a desk near her nose.

And just in case Seven wants to listen to some tunes but doesn't want to use her own over-powered system, or watch a flick, but not on the DVD player screens imbeded in her sun visors, there's a stereo system and TV/DVD combo on the bench in front of her.

Retirement never looked so good.

Book Release Date Announced

"Where No Car Has Gone Before: Achieving The Impossible," the autobiographical (key word here, "auto") story of John Mercer and his car is set to be released on Friday, June 18th. John will be making a personal appearance along with the writer, Ken Hudnall, at Trek Expo in Tulsa that weekend to sign copies of the book and meet with fans of the car.

This Special Limited Edition is a numbered hardcover, signed by Ken Hudnall and John Mercer. The publisher has strictly limited the quantity of this edition to 250 copies. The book also features photos of many of the stars who have signed the car, with space for you to have them sign your copy!

Preorders can be made here while supplies last, and will be filled on a first-come,first-served basis. Simply log on to your PayPal account and send $29.95 to info@sevenuvninecar.com .

Paperback and regular hardcover editions will be available later this year, exclusively from Barnes & Noble.

Seven Gets New Bling-Bling

John recently had Seven refitted with a set of new wheels. The new wheels, however, required a new set of low-profile performance tires in order to fit.

A set of spinners will also be installed when they come in, and will make their premiere appearance at Trek Expo in Tulsa coming up in June.

Book To Be Published About Seven

Ken Hudnall, author of "The Manhattan Conspiracy: Blood on the Apple", the 1993 novel that chillingly predicted the events of 9-11, has written a new book about John Mercer and his Seven Uv Nine car. "Where No Car Has Gone Before" will be released the weekend of June 18th. Ken will be kicking off a promotional tour with John and the car that weekend at Trek Expo 2004 in Tulsa, OK, and they'll be signing copies of the book.
