The Badlands, Book One of Two by Susan Wright
4.0
Although not especially deep or thought-provoking (even for a Star Trek novel), I enjoyed this one. Two novellas, the first set in Captain Kirk's era, the second in Captain Picard's, each involving an adventure in the Badlands, a mysterious and unstable region in space noted for its plasma storms.
I really liked revisiting a few favorite races of mine. Kirk must uncover the truth behind the destruction of a Romulan ship and a female Romulan smuggler. Picard has to deal with the Cardassians and their fantastically complex internal politics (including the Obsidian Order!)
Good stuff. Looking forward to the second book in the duology, which delves into Voyager and DS9.
