Nos romances da TNG, como este personagem-chave ultrapassou o outro para promoção?

A pergunta completa é spoilers para romances da TNG.

Eu não gosto de ler romances de Star Trek, mas de alguma forma eu encontrei a descrição do editor para Takedown :

When renegade starships wreak destruction across the quadrant, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are shocked to discover the mastermind behind this sudden threat: none other than Picard’s protégé and friend, Admiral William T. Riker. The newly minted admiral is on special assignment aboard the U.S.S. Aventine, helmed by Captain Ezri Dax—someone who is no stranger to breaking Starfleet regulations. Her starship is by far the faster vessel…and Riker cannot yield, even to his former mentor. It’s a battle of tactical geniuses and a race against time as Picard struggles to find answers before the quadrant’s great powers violently plunge into total war…

Pergunta:

What occurred in this plotline (presumably in previous novels) that Riker somehow got promoted to Admiral before Picard?

De Memória Alfa

Riker is promoted to Admiral in the Star Trek: The Fall miniseries, as Fleet Admiral Leonard James Akaar suspected a conspiracy in the upper echelons of Starfleet Command and needed someone in the admiralty that he knew he could trust. Despite his new position, Riker retains the Titan as his flagship, and attempts to go on missions in it whenever he can.

Parece que sua promoção estava diretamente relacionada ao almirante da frota Leonard James Akaar e pode não ter sido inteiramente por mérito. Embora ele fosse claramente autorizado a manter esse posto mais tarde (Takedown). Lembre-se que Thomas Riker afirmou que seu objetivo original era obter almirante aos 30 anos. Assim, tornar-se um almirante sempre foi uma ambição de Riker.

Picard pode não querer ser promovido a almirante por causa de seu amor de comandar a Enterprise

Mere months after taking command, Picard was offered a promotion to commandant of Starfleet Academy with the rank of admiral by Admiral Gregory Quinn, but turned it down to retain command of the Enterprise.

E lembre-se do que o capitão Kirk disse a ele:

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.
