Oblivion's Gate is the third and final novel in the Star Trek: Coda trilogy by author David Mack, released in November 2021. This was the finale of the various sets of novels set after the series, and it was established in this book that all associated prose works took place in an alternate continuity from the primary universe of Star Trek due to an alternate reality having been created by the Borg in the end scene of Star Trek: First Contact.
