The genesis wave : book two
(Book)

The Genesis Wave continues across the Alpha Quadrant, transforming planets on a molecular level and threatening civilizations with extinction. Based on the scientific secrets of Dr. Carol Marcus, who has disappeared, the wave of mutagenic protomatter seems to have come from nowhere, posing a menace to life as we know it. To combat the wave, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Starship Enterprise have an uneasy alliance with the Klingons and the Romulan Empire, both of whom may crave the Genesis technology for themselves. The finest engineers of 3 civilizations must race against time to devise some way of halting the wave before another world is transformed. But even if the Genesis Wave can be defeated, Picard and his allies must confront what unknown intelligence launched the wave and for what purpose.,- From inside cover.
