[edit] Official description
- From the back cover
- As the crew grieves for Mr. Spock, the awesome Genesis Device, now controlled by the Federation, has transformed an inert nebula into a new planet teeming with life. But Genesis can also destroy existing worlds.
- The creators of the Device want it given freely to the Galaxy. But Starfleet Command fears that it will become a force of evil. And the enemies of the Federation will not rest until they seize it - as their most powerful weapon in the battle to conquer the Galaxy!
