Publisher's Synopsis
James T. Kirk braves the perils of the Badlands to confront a Romulan Bird of Prey that has entered Federation space. But trespassing Romulans may be the least of his problems when the mysterious forces at work in the Badlands threaten both Captain Kirk and his crew.
A generation later, Captain Jean-Luc Picard faces the same mysterious menace when he takes the Enterprise into the Badlands on a vital Federation mission to negotiate diplomatic relations with the Cardassians. With Will Riker's life on the line and the entire ship in jeopardy, Lieutenant Commander Data is the only one who can determine the true nature of the Badlands' hidden danger!
