Book description
The spectacular conclusion to the thrilling double-sized adventure!
Like an unstoppable cosmic storm, the dreaded Genesis Wave continues
to sweep across the Alpha Quadrant, transforming entire planets on a
molecular level and threatening entire civilizations with extinction.
Based on the long-hidden scientific secrets of Dr. Carol Marcus, who
has mysteriously disappeared, the wave of mutagenic protomatter seems
to have come from nowhere, posing a cataclysmic menace to life as we
know it.
To combat the rushing terror of the wave, Captain Jean-Luc Picard
and the crew of the Starship Enterprise have been forced into
an uneasy alliance with both the Klingons and the Romulan Empire, both
of whom may crave the forbidden secrets of the Genesis technology for
themselves. The finest engineers of three civilizations, including
Geordi La Forge and his long-lost love, Dr. Leah Brahms, must race
against time to devise some way of halting the deadly wave before yet
another world is transformed into something entirely alien and
unrecognizable.
But even if, against all odds, the Genesis Wave can be defeated,
Picard and his potentially treacherous allies must still confront the
greater mystery of what unknown intelligence dared to launch the wave
against an unsuspecting galaxy -- and for what malevolent purpose....
