Mosaic is a novel based on the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. It was written by Jeri Taylor, who was executive producer of the show for the first five seasons, and was published by Pocket Books in 1996. The novel describes the backstory of Captain Kathryn Janeway, from when she was a small child, to working alongside Owen Paris and finally when she was made captain of her first ship. Taylor called the offer to write a novel on Janeway's backstory to be one that she couldn't refuse, and Pocket Books asked her to write a second book before she had completed Mosaic, which became Pathways. These two novels are the only ones to have been considered canon alongside the live-action television episodes and films, and elements of Mosaic were placed by Taylor into the series prior to publishing and continued to be incorporated afterwards.
