Books
To date, ten full length novels have been published which feature Stargazer characters, six of which are from the Stargazer series. The TNG novel Requiem features the characters only during a flashback in the book's prologue. The TNG novel The Buried Age tells the story of how the Stargazer was lost at Maxia Zeta and subsequent court-martial, during the first part of the book, with the rest of the book explaining what Picard was doing leading up to Encounter at Farpoint. Although sharing the name, the Picard: Stargazer comic miniseries was not a continuation of this series, although it has a tie-in in that there is a cameo appearance by Asmund and Ben Zoma.
