To secure their position in the very heart of the Federation, the Cardassians begin constructing space station Sentok Nor in orbit of Betazed. The station is to serve as both the seat of the Dominion occupation and the site of horrific experiments by Cardassia's foremost exobiologist, the infamous Dr. Crell Moset.
With Starfleet's forces spread too thinly in the ongoing struggle to retake Betazed outright, the U.S.S. Enterprise, along with some old and new friends, is deployed to carry out a dangerous and desperate plan. But no matter what the outcome, the consequences could alter Betazed irrevocably, forcing Deanna Troi to choose between her world's survival and its very soul.
Charlotte Douglas began her writing career as a reporter for a Florida newspaper and draws on her experiences as teacher, actress, journalist, church musician--and even a short stint with her husband as a Forest Service lookout in Northwest Montana-- for many of her plots and characters. She now has fourteen novels in print, including LICENSED TO MARRY, her November Harlequin Intrigue, with four more to be released within the next twelve months.
