Long Shot is a 2015 Star Trek: Seekers novel by author David Mack.

Description[]

SCIENCE GONE MAD… Bizarre sensor readings lead the Starfleet scout ship USS Sagittarius to an alien world where efforts to harness a dangerous and unstable technology have thrown the laws of probability out of balance. Now, events that might have occurred only one time in a trillion are hap­pening constantly—to deadly and dazzling effect.
A PLANET IN PERIL... As disasters and miracles multiply globally at an ever-increasing rate, it's up to Captain Clark Terrell and his crew to shut down the experiment-gone-wrong before its storm of chaos causes the planet's destruction. But the odds against their success—and their survival—might be too great to overcome.

Summary[]

On the planet Anura, an attempt by scientist Doctor Pren Kavalas to tap into dark matter energy creates a distortion wave which changes the laws of probability in the region, meaning highly unlikely events start happening regularly. A series of natural disasters rock the planet, which seems on the verge of global collapse.

Sagittarius Seekers 3

USS Sagittarius.

The Sagittarius picks up a distress call from the planet and Terrell takes a landing party comprising himself, Chief engineer Master Chief Petty Officer Mike Ilucci, Science officer Lieutenant Sengar Hesh and Ensign field scout Taryl to meet with the planet's leader, Tribune Tiras Saranda. They begin working with Kavalas to try and find a solution and have to work their way through an anti-alien mob to reach the generator.

Meanwhile, the Sagittarius rescues the crew of a space station destroyed by a freak meteorite shower, then deflects a comet that would have destroyed the planet. The crew realise that when the next distortion wave peaks, a solar flare will wipe out all life in the system.

The landing party discover that the dark matter generator was created using material scavenged from an alien ship, which was booby-trapped, meaning the controls are now out of phase. Several plans fail but when the Sagittarius lands by the generator Hesh is finally able to rig up a replacement control console and cause the generator to self-destruct.
