It was the author's first novel set in the Star Trek universe, although he had previously written stories for the DC Comics line of comics. Strike Zone was originally intended to feature the Romulans but this was scrapped, with the new aliens called the Kreel replacing them. It was also meant to feature the crew of the Enterprise from Star Trek: The Original Series but the publishers asked David to use those from The Next Generation instead.
