Synopsis

The spectacular conclusion to the thrilling double-sized adventure!
Like an unstoppable cosmic storm, the dreaded Genesis Wave continues to sweep across the Alpha Quadrant, transforming entire planets on a molecular level and threatening entire civilizations with extinction. Based on the long-hidden scientific secrets of Dr. Carol Marcus, who has mysteriously disappeared, the wave of mutagenic protomatter seems to have come from nowhere, posing a cataclysmic menace to life as we know it.
To combat the rushing terror of the wave, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise™ have been forced into an uneasy alliance with both the Klingons and the Romulan Empire, both of whom may crave the forbidden secrets of the Genesis technology for themselves. The finest engineers of three civilizations, including Geordi La Forge and his long-lost love, Dr. Leah Brahms, must race against time to devise some way of halting the deadly wave before yet another world is transformed into something entirely alien and unrecognizable.
But even if, against all odds, the Genesis Wave can be defeated, Picard and his potentially treacherous allies must still confront the greater mystery of what unknown intelligence dared to launch the wave against an unsuspecting galaxy -- and for what malevolent purpose....

Goodreads review by Daniel on August 23, 2016

In the grand tradition of "The Next Generation's" televised two-parters, this story's conclusion isn't as satisfying as part one. It's still an easy read, and the plot continues to barrel ahead at warp speed, but it devotes less time to character development, and it continues to demonstrate a slight......more

Goodreads review by Adam on March 31, 2019

Part two of The Genesis Wave continues to deal with the fallout of the rampaging protomatter force which is wreaking havoc in the Alpha Quadrant, however a split narrative in the book slows the pace somewhat and makes for a less enjoyable follow up to the first installment. As Geordi, Delores, Mot an......more

Goodreads review by Jess on July 18, 2020

Okay, this book doesn't have a lot of the annoying turning half the main characters in the annoying (but slightly justifiable) man children. That's a plus. Most of the plot makes sense. Another plus. But it fall apart for three simple reasons. First, you can't really call it a TNG book. Leah Brahms......more

Goodreads review by Happy Scrappy Hero Pup on January 10, 2025

Meh. It’s not badly written, per se, but the story is derivative. If you’re a completionist and have read all the other TNG novels, or you just love watching Geordi pine over a married woman whose husband conveniently just died as a plot device, while in a battle to save the Earth, then read this bo......more
