2023 reissue[]
In November 2023, the book saw a reissue of sorts. A revised and updated edition, augmented with quotes from the latest seasons of Star Trek: Picard, was released and featured a completely redesigned cover which was executed in faux burgundy red (the color of Picard's command uniform) leatherette. It was however, not a reprint in the usual sense, as it was only available as part of the limited multimedia Star Trek: The Picard Legacy Collection Blu-ray gift set.
