Wikipedia article
'Planet X' is a 1998 'Star Trek' novel by Michael Jan Friedman that is a crossover between the X-Men comic book series and the characters of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation'. A 'New York Times' bestseller, it was a sequel to an earlier crossover, detailed in the Marvel Comics one-shot 'Star Trek: The Next Generation/X-Men' #1 (which was itself similar to an earlier 'Star Trek/X-Men' crossover comic, where a slightly different team of X-Men encountered the characters of the original 'Star Trek' series). The novel hinted at an attraction between Jean-Luc Picard and Ororo Munroe (Storm) and made a forward-looking reference to the (then-uncast) 'X-Men' feature film by remarking on the uncanny resemblance between Picard and Xavier, as the two converse via the holodeck after a reasonable facsimile of Xavier is programmed into it; (both characters were played by Patrick Stewart in 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' and the 'X-Men' film series).
