Star Trek: Picard is just one month away, but fans will have another opportunity to engage with the new series in Star Trek: Picard: The Last Best Hope, a new novel written by Una McCormack. McCormack has authored eight previous Star Trek novels, including The Lotus Flower, Hollow Men, The Fall: The Crimson Shadow, Enigma Tales, and The Way to the Stars. The Last Best Hope is a prequel to Star Trek: Picard that promises to introduce some of the new characters in the series. It's interesting that the novel is releasing February 11th, three weeks into the first season of Star Trek: Picard on CBS All Access. It's also notable for being the first Star Trek novel published in hardcover since 2007. The novel is now available to pre-order.
