Designed by its creators to manufacture organic life out of nothingness, the Genesis Device morphed instead into a weapon of unimaginable and unprecedented power, capable of rearranging matter and life energy on a universal scale. After the cataclysmic death of the Genesis Planet, Starfleet wisely decided a century ago to destroy all data and records on Project Genesis, hoping to bury its deadly secrets forever. Now, a mysterious wave of energy is sweeping across the Alpha Quadrant at a staggering speed, wiping out the populations of entire planets. In this follow-up to the wildly popular first volume in this series from readers' favorite John Vornholt, Captain Picard's U.S.S. Enterprise is the first Starfleet vessel to discover the threat but they are not the only ones in danger. Trillions of souls and hundreds of inhabited planets lie in the path of the mutagenic wave, which is expanding outward as it traverses the cosmos, and Earth itself faces total obliteration!
