Do
Comets Dream? (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
by S.P. Somtow
Book Description: Every five thousand years, so the people of
the planet Thanet believe, the world ends in fire and a new cycle of creation
begins. Now the Last Days are once again upon them, and a fiery star draws
near. This is the Death-Bringer, the Eater of the World, whose coming
heralds the end of all things....
But to Captain Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise™; the
Death-Bringer appears to be nothing but a rogue comet, easily destroyed.
Picard faces a difficult dilemma: how can he save the Thanetians' rich
and intricate civilization without destroying the very beliefs upon which
their culture is based?
This quandary is challenge enough, yet the captain's position becomes
even more complicated when Deanna Troi discovers that, incredibly, the
comet is alive!
