David R. George III.
David R. George III has written for Star Trek on television, in books, and in magazines. He began his Trek career when he co-wrote the story for a first-season Voyager episode. He subsequently penned several Original Series, Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine novels and novellas. His Original Series trilogy, Crucible, was published to help celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the show's television debut. A planned hardcover collecting all three Crucible novels, and including a new preface and five new short stories by George, was scheduled for publication in May 2009; though the volume was later canceled, George had completed writing the new material.
George also wrote "Deep Into That Darkness Peering," the introduction to the Twist of Faith omnibus. His Mission Gamma novel, Twilight, was reprinted in the These Haunted Seas omnibus.
George's Voyager episode received a nomination for a Sci Fi Universe award in the category "Best Writing in a Genre Television Show or Telefilm." His work has appeared on both the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.
He has also contributed numerous articles to Star Trek Magazine.
In 2017, George, along with David Mack and Kirsten Beyer, pitched their ideas for a new Star Trek series. [1]
