Description
"ROUGE SAUCER" While its own saucer section receives needed repairs, the "U.S.S. Enterprise™ " tests a new experimental saucer. In theory, the new saucer can survive a planetary crash landing, but will it come through intact under genuine test conditions? Riker, Data, Worf, and La Forge risk their lives to find out, and so does Admiral nechayev of Starfleet. But a dangerous test turns even more deadly when hostile forces seize control of the saucer --and turn it against the "Enterprise."Tags

Even for a genre novel this just wasn't very good. No characterizations. Everyone exhausted to start with, then pushed to their limits, and then some of them pushed beyond, but of course not really. I normally don't like the Cardassian & Maquis stuff, but there was some interesting-ish ideas about that here. Very quick read but still not quite worth my time.
And mind the homophones. It's a hull breach, not breech. And another plane of existence, not plain.
I'm pretty glad I'm almost to the end of the set that I inherited from my brother, actually.
