The Badlands, Book One of Two by Susan Wright
3.0
I used to read a lot of Star Trek novels when I was a kid, but I hadn't picked one up in a long time until somebody gave me a small stack of them they'd uncovered while moving into a new place.
I'm probably a lot less critical of these books than I would be others because I have such a soft spot for anything to do with the Trek franchise. This one isn't very weighty, and really it's just two novellas--one from the TOS era and one from TNG--that have no real link other than they're both set in the Badlands, that remote, plasma-storm infested area of space familiar to DS9 fans. Still, it was a fun read and any chance to spend a little time on the Enterprise, especially with the TNG crew, is welcome.
Book 2 of this series should be interesting, as it encompasses both DS9 and Voyager.
