Cover
The design of the uniforms is from seasons 1 & 2 of TNG. Riker is wearing a beard like he did in season 2.
Historians Notes
The historian's note at the front of the novel states; Metamorphosis takes place in the second season of TNG beginning immediately after The Measure of a Man
Reference to
previous events
The start of the story has the USS Enterprise orbiting Starbase 173 which is where Measure of a Man took place. Other than the historian's note, the placement of this story in the second season of TNG is made possible due to the fact the Dr Pulaski is the CMO and she tells Dare she has been for a couple of months while talking about if Data could pass as human in Ten Forward.
Characters Ranks
The ranks of all the characters in the novel are consistent with what was shown in season 2 of TNG.

In the first scene after the welcome back party for Data, Captain Picard quotes a stardate 42528.6 as he describes the USS Enterprise's next mission, which is just greater than the stardate given in Measure of a Man 42523.7
