Located dangerously near the Cardassian border, the unstable region of space known as the Badlands has long been a hazard to interstellar navigation, characterized by violent plasma storms and other even stranger phenomena. Many starships have faced destruction there, including at least two incarnations of the "Starship Enterprise(TM) ...." James T. Kirk braves the perils of the Badlands to confront a Romulan Bird of Prey that has entered Federation space in pursuit of a fleeing smuggler. But trespassing Romulans may be the least of Kirk's problems when the mysterious forces at work in the Badlands threaten both his ship and his crew! A generation later, Jean-Luc Picard faces the same phantom menace when he commands his "Enterprise" into the Badlands on a mission vital to Federation-Cardassian relations. With Will Riker's life on the line, and the entire ship in jeopardy, it's up to Lieutenant Commander Data to determine the true nature of the Badlands' hidden danger!

As Star Trek crossovers go, this is one of the better ones, uniting the captains, crews and starships from all four Star Trek series in a two-book story arc.
The Badlands of the title is a particularly perilous region of space located close to the Cardassian border, filled with violent plasma storms and other potentially lethal interstellar phenomena. In this first book, captain James T Kirk finds his ship and crew in danger after entering the Badlands to confront a Roumlan Bird of prey chasing a smugglers vessel. Years later, the Next Generation crew finds themselves in a similar danger when they must enter the Badlands on a vital Federation mission and the Data, the android with a longing to be human, is charged with discovering the real secret of the Badlands.
Susan Wright has done a sterling job with the pace and characterisations of all the familiar faces in this book and it's a credit to the plotting that all the characters share equal page time. There is plenty of action and the usual Star Trek terminology to keep the most fussy Star Trek fan interested, though the stories, by necessity, are not as complex as many Trekkers are used to in longer novels. The Badlands is fun and flashy and another great addition to the world of Star Trek. --Joanne Wells
Located close to the Cardassian border, the turbulent region of space known as the Badlands has been an interstellar hazard for at least two generations. Many starships have faced destruction there; the USS "Enterprise", under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, is no exception.
