American novelist and comics writer whose licensed Star Trek books include Takedown, the Prey trilogy, the Discovery tie-ins The Enterprise War and Die Standing, and the Strange New Worlds novel The High Country.
John Jackson Miller came to Star Trek after writing comics and novels for other franchises. His first contributions were the Titan novella Absent Enemies and the Next Generation novel Takedown, which pits Picard against Riker.
In 2016 he wrote the Prey trilogy, Hell's Heart, The Jackal's Trick and The Hall of Heroes, a Klingon-centred story spanning the Original Series films and the Next Generation era.
He then became a leading author of tie-ins to the modern shows. The Enterprise War recounts what Pike's ship was doing during the Klingon war, Die Standing follows Philippa Georgiou and Section 31, Rogue Elements is a Picard novel about Cristobal Rios, and The High Country (2023) was the first novel based on Strange New Worlds.
