Books like Star Trek The Next Generation - Maximum Warp - Forever Dark by Dave Galanter
A relentless cosmic force erodes subspace, making warp travel and interstellar communication impossible in scattered regions of the galaxy.

In uncharted space beyond Federation borders, Picard and his Romulan allies uncover a vast alien mechanism suspended between a black hole and a nearby planet. The device keeps the planet from falling into the black hole but its cataclysmic effects are rapidly destroying subspace. Faced with a moral dilemma, Picard must decide whether to sacrifice an entire world to save the galaxy.

The USS Discovery's specialty is using its spore-based hub drive to jump great distances faster than any warp-faring vessel in Starfleet. To do this, Lieutenant Paul Stamets navigates the ship through the recently revealed mycelial network, a subspace domain Discovery can briefly transit but in which it cannot remain. After responding to a startling distress call originating from within the network, the Discovery crew find themselves trapped in an inescapable realm where they will surely perish unless their missing mycelial fuel is found or restored. Is the seemingly human man found alone and alive inside the network the Starfleet officer he claims to be, or an impostor created by alien intruders who hope to extract themselves from the mycelial plane at the expense of all lives aboard Discovery?
