In TNG-romaner, hur gick den här nyckelpersonen till en annan för marknadsföring?

Hela frågan är spoilers för TNG-romaner.

Jag går inte in på läsning av Star Trek romaner, men jag på något sätt snubblat på utgivarens beskrivning av 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…

Fråga:

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

Från Memory Alpha

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.

Det verkar som om hans kampanj var direkt relaterad till flottaadmiral Leonard James Akaar och kan inte ha varit helt på förtjänst. Även om han tydligt fick behålla denna rang senare (Takedown). Kom ihåg att Thomas Riker uttalade deras ursprungliga mål var att erhålla amiral vid 30 års ålder. Att bli en adiral har alltid varit en ambition för rikers.

Picard kanske inte vill bli befordrad till amiral på grund av sin kärlek till att beordra företaget

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.

Och kom ihåg vad Captain Kirk sa till honom:

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.
