British author who received a story credit on the Voyager episode One and has since written licensed novels for the Titan, Discovery and Picard lines, among others.
James Swallow sold story material to Star Trek: Voyager in the late 1990s and is credited with the story for the fourth-season episode One, in which Seven of Nine must run the ship alone while the crew lie in stasis.
As a novelist he wrote Day of the Vipers, the first book of the Terok Nor trilogy about the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, and the Titan novels Synthesis and Sight Unseen. Cast No Shadow follows Valeris after The Undiscovered Country, and The Poisoned Chalice forms part of the miniseries The Fall.
His more recent books tie into the modern series: Fear Itself is a Discovery novel centred on Saru, and The Dark Veil is a Picard novel featuring William Riker in command of the USS Titan.
