New Star Trek Release Makes up For the Lost Spinoff Every Fan Wanted

A new Star Trek novel, Picard: To Defy Fate by Dayton Ward, is now available. It offers fans disappointed by the cancellation of the Legacy series a continuation of the Picard storyline and a look at what might have been. The novel picks up after the end of Picard Season 3, where Captain Shaw (Todd Stashwick) passed command of the USS Titan-A to Seven of Nine, setting her up for greater adventures. A year later, the ship is renamed the Enterprise-G, and Seven takes on the role of captain – a position previously held by some of Starfleet’s most iconic leaders. While Legacy would have explored Seven’s command, To Defy Fate immediately delivers a Star Trek story with her in charge. In that sense, and as a continuation of Picard, the novel feels like a welcome bonus for fans.
