The author of that trilogy is David Mack. I believe he is a consultant for the new Trek shows. He is the same dude who came up with the idea of Control.
The first book in that trilogy is pretty good. Not too crazy about the follow-ups. They all (sorta) spring from a novel called Immortal Coil by Jeffrey Lang. It's
very "small universe" but entertaining.
Edit: the writers definitely know about the novels because they are using some stuff from the old Diane Duane Romulan books too. Specifically the fact that they have secret names.
