More money you'll have to spend to know the whole story as the greedy

Star Trek: Picard prequel novel and comic book series in the works
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hollywood Reporter brings word that a Star Trek: Picard prequel
novel and comic book series are currently in the works ahead of the
show's debut in 2020 on CBS All Access.

The prequel projects are meant to help fill the gap between the
2002 film Star Trek: Nemesis and the Picard series. CBS Consumer
Products, IDW Publishing, and Simon & Schuster's Galley Books are
partnering on the projects.

"From the moment we announced this series we've seen a groundswell
of support from our fan base who are thrilled to have Jean-Luc
Picard back on their screens. Having this brand new original
backstory play out through both comic book and novel formats will
set the stage for the new series in an exciting way while also
showcasing the work of our talented partners at Simon & Schuster
and IDW," said Veronica Hart, CBS Consumer products executive VP
of global franchise management.

Star Trek: Picard - Countdown is a three-issue comic book series
from IDW that will center around a single mission that changed the
life of Picard. Written by Mike Johnson and Picard supervising
producer Kirsten Beyer, the comic books will run from November to
January 2020.

Galley Books will then release Una McCormack's novel The Last Best
Hope in February 2020. The story will lead directly into the
Picard TV show, including introducing new characters that will
appear in the series.

Star Trek: Picard will tell the next story of Picard's life,
taking place after Star Trek: Next Generation. Plot details are
being kept under wraps, but Star Trek: Discovery creator Alex
Kurtzman revealed in March that it will be "a very different
show from Discovery." He also mentioned that the series will be a
"very thoughtful, psychological portrait in a lot of ways...
Things have changed for [Picard] and changed him in some ways,
and yet he is so deeply and fundamentally still Picard."

The cast also includes Santiago Cabrera (Big Little Lies),
Michelle Hurd (Blindspot), Evan Evagora (Fantasy Island), Alison
Pill (The Newsroom), Harry Treadaway (Mr. Mercedes, Penny
Dreadful), and Isa Briones (American Crime Story: Versace).

Everything outside of the various series has been a waste of time since
always. Let them publish as much as they want, I won't be buying!
