The book will be written by Una McCormack, who has previously written a number of Star Trek novels.
Veronica Hart, CBS EVP of Global Franchise Management, said, 'From the moment we announced this series, we've seen a groundswell of support from our fan base who are thrilled to have Jean-Luc Picard back on our screens. Having this brand new original backstory play out through both comic book and novel formats will set the stage for the new series in an exciting way while showcasing the work of our talented partners at Simon & Schuster and IDW.'
