The third part of an epic tale of universal destruction and one man's heroic efforts to avert it. The entire Alpha Quadrant hangs in the balance as Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew race to stave off the apocalyptic threat of the Genesis Wave in the third volume of John Vornholt's thrilling series. Designed to create organic life from nothingness and make barren planets fertile and habitable, the awe-inspiring Genesis Device has been turned instead into a weapon of terrifying destructive power, able to alter matter and energy on a molecular scale. Sweeping inexorably across the galaxy, The Genesis Wave is changing everything in its path, and where it passes nothing will ever be the same. Thousands of planets and trillions of lives are at risk as Captain Picard faces one of the greatest challenges of his career.
Genesis Wave I & II were excellent reads. I was a bit hesitant about Genesis Wave III wondering what else could be said but the story and especially the characters quickly put my fears to rest. The story is relatively fast paced. We see Admiral Necheyev in a new light. There are two very engaging Romulan characters introduced and developed during the story. Jarit an assassin and an outlaw Regimol. There is also a niece of Spock Teska who is nicely portrayed. The story is engaging but its the development of and interaction between the characters that make the book a great success. For those interested in the story it basically follows a Bajoran Prylor who thinks a portable Genesis Wave device is a orb and the attempts of the Romulans to get it but as mentioned earlier the story is secondary to the character interaction. I highly recommend this book to every Star Trek fan. I want to see more of the characters introduced and one or two not mentioned
