The Badlands, Book Two is a Star Trek novel – the second novel in The Badlands duology – written by Susan Wright. Published by Pocket Books, it was first released in December 1999.
Summary[]
- From the book jacket
- Located perilously near the Cardassian border, the turbulent region of space known as the Badlands has been an interstellar hazard to navigation for at least two generations. Many starships have been lost amidst its violent plasma storms, but the true danger may only be beginning!
- Before she began her historic sojourn in the Delta Quadrant, Captain Kathryn Janeway led the USS Voyager into the Badlands in pursuit of a renegade Maquis vessel. There she encountered the same threatening and inexplicable phenomena that had previously endangered both Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard. Now, detoured from her mission by an urgent Cardassian distress call, Janeway finally uncovers the origin of the hidden menace!
- Armed with Janeway's hard-won knowledge, Captain Benjamin Sisko must deal with the exposed threat once and for all. But first the USS Defiant must battle both the Dominion and the Romulan Empire for control of an unleashed power source that could devastate the entire Alpha Quadrant!
