Greg Cox

The tie-in writer's tie-in writer — a craftsman who can make any franchise feel like canon.

Greg Cox is a New York Times bestselling American author who has built a distinguished career in media tie-in fiction, earning multiple Scribe Awards and recognition as a grandmaster of the form. He's best known among Star Trek readers for the Eugenics Wars novels, which ingeniously reconcile Khan Noonien Singh's backstory with our own real-world history.

Beyond Trek — where he also wrote the Q Continuum trilogy and Assignment: Eternity — he's penned official novelizations of major films and books across an enormous range of franchises, from superhero blockbusters to long-running TV series. His particular gift is continuity: weaving disparate threads into a satisfying, coherent whole that respects everything fans already love.

Expect smart, faithful, propulsive storytelling tuned precisely to its source material. Cox is an ideal pick for readers who treasure tie-in fiction done with real skill and affection — a writer who treats adapting a beloved universe as a genuine craft and consistently rises to it.
