American editor at Pocket Books who guided the Deep Space Nine relaunch novels, edited several anthologies and co-created the Vanguard series with author David Mack.
Marco Palmieri was an editor in the Pocket Books Star Trek programme from the late 1990s until 2008.
He edited The Lives of Dax (1999), an anthology telling a story for each host of the Dax symbiont, and then planned the continuation of Deep Space Nine beyond its finale, commissioning S.D. Perry's Avatar and steering the books that followed. He also edited the anniversary anthologies Prophecy and Change and Constellations.
With David Mack he devised Star Trek: Vanguard, a novel series set on Starbase 47 during the Original Series period, which began with Harbinger in 2005. Under his editorship the lines for Titan and the Lost Era were also developed.
