Nightshade

Newly reissued, the exciting Star Trek novel from New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton!
After 200 years of civil war, the planet Oriana is dying. Most of the surface vegetation is gone, the air is almost unbreathable, and the population is nearly extinct. The two warring factions have finally agreed to talk peace, and Captain 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 Enterprise is called away on another urgent mission. Alone on the planet, the U.S.S. Enterprise team learns that there are people who would rather finish the devastating conflict than talk peace. Now, Worf and Troi must prevent planet-wide disaster, before time runs out.
Another bestseller from the series with more than 8 million copies in print. Summoned to a dying planet to negotiate peace between two warring factions, the Enterprise is immediately called away again on an urgent mission, leaving Lt. Worf to act as peacemaker in the dangerous negotiations that will determine the fate of an entire world. Original.
