Planet X (Star Trek)
''Planet X'' () is a 1998 ''Star Trek'' novel by Michael Jan Friedman that is a crossover between the X-Men comic book series and the characters of '' Star Trek: The Next Generation''. A ''New York Times'' bestseller, it was a sequel to an earlier crossover, detailed in the Marvel Comics one-shot ''Star Trek: The Next Generation/X-Men'' #1 (which was itself similar to an earlier '' Star Trek/X-Men'' crossover comic, where a slightly different team of X-Men encountered the characters of the original ''Star Trek'' series). The novel hinted at an attraction between Jean-Luc Picard and Ororo Munroe (Storm) and made a forward-looking reference to the (then-uncast) ''X-Men'' feature film by remarking on the uncanny resemblance between Picard and Xavier, as the two converse via the holodeck after a reasonable facsimile of Xavier is programmed into it; (both characters were played by Patrick Stewart Sir Patrick Stewart (born 13 July 1940) is an English actor who has a career spa ...

Novels Based On Star Trek: The Next Generation
A novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, typically written in prose and published as a book. The present English word for a long work of prose fiction derives from the for "new", "news", or "short story of something new", itself from the la, novella, a singular noun use of the neuter plural of ''novellus'', diminutive of ''novus'', meaning "new". Some novelists, including Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Ann Radcliffe, John Cowper Powys, preferred the term "romance" to describe their novels. According to Margaret Doody, the novel has "a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years", with its origins in the Ancient Greek and Roman novel, in Chivalric romance, and in the tradition of the Italian renaissance novella.Margaret Anne Doody''The True Story of the Novel'' New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, 1996, rept. 1997, p. 1.
