This was another solid Trek: Next Generation novel, in that it dealt with a race that was teased on the show, but never seen: the Jarada. Now obviously, an insectoid race wasn't going to happen on the budget of a weekly sci-fi show, and this book filled in much more about the race.
The Enterprise is called to a Jaradan colony, and the crew must unravel what is going wrong with the colony - something seems "off" right from the start - and as Dr. Crusher and a few others of the away team are down on the planet and separated on various tours, a madness seems to spring up throughout the populace, and soon everyone is running for their lives as well as trying to figure out why the alien race has suddenly gone murderously mad. It was well done.
