Phatman and Picard

There is absolutely no good reason why Phatman and Picard need to be in another story, let alone three more stories; The world is running smoothly and everyone is acting quite dashingly. But, as the old show business saying goes..."If nobody knows your name, then you're a failure and you're going to die alone." All of which, is the reason why Phatman and Picard have decided to revisit their roots. Also, they already spent the money they made from their last four books.
