Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 074343434X, Mass Market Paperback)
A breathtaking novel of suspense and action in which Deanna Troi risks all to save her home planet from the forces of the Dominion. As the war between the Dominion and the Federation rages across the Alpha Quadrant, Counselor Deanna Troi finds she is faced with more than she expected when she kidnaps a telepathic killer to bring to the aid of the resistance movement on the occupied planet of Betazed. At the same time, the Enterprise-E is leading a Starfleet attack against a Cardassian space station is orbit above the skies of Betazed. Dominion scientists are using the Betazed people as raw material in their experiments to create a more highly evolved Jem'Hadar -- the genetically engineered warrior species which forms the core of the Dominion forces. What transpires is an awesome battle -- including hostages and narrow escapes -- with unexpected twists which lead to a truly explosive ending.

Unfortunately this didn't have as much about the Betazoids as about the multiple battles going on so that Starfleet could retake Betazed. Both the internal battles of Deanna Troi as well as the few outward battles going on against the Jem-Hadar and Cardassians.
The main question of this book is, what would you do to save your people? Would you perhaps doom your people's future to save your race in the present?
It's an often used question in books, the deal with the devil, and I thought it was presented in an interesting way in this book. Still, I would have loved more info on the Betazoids (or Betazed), but that would have just been a cherry on top. As it was this was a fine four star sundae itself. (
