== Background information ==
* Derek Tyler Attico was commissioned after Titan Books read a DS9 short story that he'd written several years earlier: "Titan Books read a Star Trek short story I wrote titled "The Dreamer and the Dream." It was a DS9 Benny Russell story published by Pocket Books for their Star Trek Strange New Worlds Anthology contest for the 50th anniversary of Star Trek in 2016. After reading that story, they realized I would be a good fit for The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko. I had a conversation with the managing editor, and he liked my ideas for the book. I got the project. This was also my first novel, so it was a very personal and professional journey. I came up with the book's story, themes, and new characters myself. I realized this book had an opportunity to not only deliver the origin story of Benjamin Sisko but it could also be a father's message to his son. The book could also make a statement about life in the 24th century and, in doing so, be the mirror Star Trek has been known to be for all of us." 
* The author commented, "[Sisko] is already a complex man with a rich history and a strong sense of character, duty and family when we meet him. So as I constructed his origins, I knew that his family and the experiences that molded Ben needed to represent the authenticity, strength and love we see in Sisko as an adult. And in creating Ben's past, questions needed to be answered. Why didn't we ever see his siblings? What is New Orleans like in the 24th century? What was it like building the USS Defiant? These are just a few of the questions I've asked and answered. The Autobiography of Benjamin Sisko will have something in it not only for fans of Sisko and Deep Space Nine but for everyone that enjoys Star Trek."
