Since ''Firewall'' was pitched and approved as Season Three of ''Picard'' was winding down, he had a reduced window for completing the manuscript compared to normal tie-ins. Writing was also further hit by a death in the family and then Mack and his wife both contracting COVID (and in Mack's case ending up in the ER). Completion of the book ultimately came down to the wire, with Mack only putting the finishing touches on the manuscript with 36 hours before the editorial deadline.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: As detailed on the Trivia page for ''Literature/StarTrekPicardTheDarkVeil'', James Swallow originally pitched his Riker/Troi/''Titan'' novel as a Seven-centric ''Picard'' prequel. He and ''Picard'' co-creator Kirsten Beyer developed the idea, but Beyer ultimately axed it. Given the rich potential of that particular story, Beyer felt there was a good chance the show would tackle it instead and Swallow agreed. The green light was not given until after ''Picard'' ended its run (and of course, David Mack ultimately got custodianship of the project instead of Swallow).
