Star Trek - The Next Generation: The Genesis Wave Book One (Electronic book text)

Project Genesis -- once it was a Federation scientist's brainchild, the ultimate solution to overpopulation and food shortages in the Alpha Quadrant. Instead, it became a weapon of awe-inspiring destructiveness, capable of rearranging matter and life energy on a planetary scale. Starfleet destroyed all Genesis data and records, hoping to bury its terrible secrets forever. But now, nearly a century later, Captain Jean-Lud Jean-Lud Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise must suddenly face the deadly rebirth of Genesis -- with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance.
