David R. George III

David R. George III is an American science fiction writer. His earliest Star Trek work was the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Prime Factors", and he has since written several novels set in the franchise, including The 34th Rule, three books of the Star Trek: Typhon Pact miniseries and the first book of Star Trek: The Fall.

Star Trek George was a fan of Star Trek as a teenager, saying that the first episode he saw was "The Corbomite Maneuver". His earliest credit in the Star Trek franchise was a television episode.

Following this, Stillwell and actor Armin Shimerman pitched ideas for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine but none of their stories were picked up. Shimerman suggested that they take the idea to Pocket Books to see if it could be made into a novel; it was subsequently accepted and George and Shimerman developed the idea into The 34th Rule. George was involved in writing some of the elements of the Star Trek: Typhon Pact series of books, which had been originally conceived by Marco Palmieri and initially introduced in the novel A Singular Destiny by Keith R.A. DeCandido. George wrote two of the novels in that miniseries, Plagues of Night and Raise the Dawn. On August 27, 2013, Revelation and Dust was published by Simon & Schuster. The book was the first part of a five book miniseries entitled The Fall which was intended to bring together the novels of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. His book was the first to be set after the destruction of the Deep Space Nine space station earlier in the series of novels set after the television episodes. As part of the novel, he requested that a design of the new station was created so it could appear on the cover of the novel.

Other works George has also had two original novelettes published in anthologies. These were the stories Moon Over Luna in Thrilling Wonder Stories, Volume 2 and Native Lands in The Instruments of Vice.
