Book description
Located perilously near the Cardassian border, the turbulent region of
space known as the Badlands has been an interstellar hazard to
navigation for at least two generations. Many starships have been lost
amidst its violent plasma storms, but the true danger may only be
beginning!
Before she began her historic sojourn in the Delta Quadrant, Captain
Kathryn Janeway led the U. S.S. Voyager into the Badlands in
pursuit of a renegade Maquis vessel. There she encountered the same
threatening and inexplicable phenomena that had previously endangered
both Kirk and Picard. Now, detoured from her mission by an urgent
Cardassian distress call, Janeway finally uncovers the origin of the
hidden menace!
Armed with Janeway's hard-won knowledge, Captain Benjamin Sisko must
deal with the exposed threat once and for all. But first the U.
S.S. Defiant must battle both the Dominion and the Romulan
Empire for control of an unleashed power source that could devastate
the entire Alpha Quadrant!
Susan Wright is the author of several Star Trek novels,
among them THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST, VIOLATIONS, SINS OF COMMISSION
and THE TEMPEST. Her most recent are the BADLANDS and the DARK
PASSIONS two-volume crossovers.
