Kirsten Beyer became one of the most prolific writers in the Star Trek literary universe through her sustained work on Voyager fiction. Her contributions to that corner of the franchise began in the mid-2000s and continued through To Lose the Earth in 2020, covering both the original run of Voyager novels and the post-series continuation that picks up after the show’s finale. Books like Full Circle, The Eternal Tide, and Architects of Infinity are among the titles that gave the Voyager continuation its shape.

Beyond Voyager, Beyer wrote Star Trek: Picard novels including The Last Best Hope, which was published alongside the first season of the television series in 2020, and To Defy Fate, scheduled for 2026. She also contributed to Star Trek: Discovery tie-in comics and prose, and her work on the String Theory trilogy fills in a specific period in Voyager’s history.

The Alias entries in her bibliography are tie-in novels for the television spy series of the same name, a separate strand of media fiction from the early 2000s. With over a hundred books published across three decades, Beyer has produced one of the largest bodies of Star Trek fiction of any single author.
