Intended to create life from nothingness, the Genesis Device had the potential to become a weapon of awe-inspiring destructiveness, capable of rearranging matter and life energy on a planetary scale.

Review of 'The Genesis Wave Book One' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Bringing back Genesis was definitely an interesting idea (and having Carol Marcus still alive - though, hey, if McCoy can still be kicking in the TNG world, so could she).

I listened to the audio, which is probably abridged like all the rest, so I might not have gotten the whole story as written, but for once, geez, a real cliffhanger. Once upon a time I read quite a few of the Trek books, and I just don't remember that happening.

Anyway, it was interesting, got me to listen to part 2 to see what happens, but not sure if I can really say I like it as it's own story.
