Nightshade – Star Trek TNG
After two hundred years of civil war the planet Oriana is dying. Most of the surface vegetation is gone, the air is nearly unbreathable, and the people themselves are dying. Now, the two warring factions have finally sat down to talk peace, and Captian Picard and the U.S.S. Enterprise™ are sent to help them negotiate a settlement.
Picard, Lt. Worf, and Counsellor Troi beam down to Oriana, just as the Starship Enterprise is called away on another urgent mission. Alone on the planet, the U.S.S. Enterprise team learns that there are people that would rather finish the devastating conflict than talk peace. Suddenly, Picard is accused of murder and the delicate negotiations have fallen into the hands of Lt. Worf.
Now, Worf and Troi must unravel the truth and prevent planet-wide disaster, before time runs out for the people of Oriana and the crew of the Starship Enterprise.
Laurell, I loved this book. You did a super great job with it. I would love to see more of them.
Laurell,
I really enjoyed your writing style in Nightshade Star Trek. You have some very creative things happening in the book. I’m watching all of the TV episodes of Star Trek the Next Generation and have read other Star Trek authors, and the adventures in your book stood out. You have captured the personalities of the characters as well.

I’m 58, a lifelong ST fan, and usually disappointed with the quality of the ST books…but this one was a fantastic exception. Congratulations and thank you! I hope you are possessed of a notion to write more of them, maybe one with the original crew?
