Fans learned so much about Benjamin Sisko in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine but The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko — the first novel by author Derek Tyler Attico — takes it to the next level. Recently, I enjoyed not only reading a preview copy of the book and hosting an X Space (an audio discussion on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter) with Attico about it but I was also delighted to interview him for Warp Factor Trek regarding the novel, which I’ve reviewed for this website. Published by Titan Books, the novel represents the fifth in a series of “autobiographies” of various Star Trek captains. After informing Attico that I thoroughly enjoyed the book and catching up with him about his advertising campaign to promote its release, I launched into some questions about the novel itself.
