Books like Star Trek The Next Generation - A Time to Kill by David Alan Mack
In the midst of the Dominion War, the Federation secretly equips the neutral world Tezwa with powerful weapons as a contingency against the Dominion. The planet’s proximity to the Klingon border and Tezwa’s newfound militaristic ambitions set the stage for a diplomatic crisis. Captain Jean‑Luc Picard and his crew are thrust into the conflict when Tezwa’s prime minister threatens a nearby Klingon world. Facing time pressure and immense stakes, Picard, Riker—now captain of the Enterprise—and Dr. Beverly Crusher navigate new roles and responsibilities while the Federation’s covert strategy risks unraveling fragile peace treaties. Ambassador Worf must balance his loyalty to the Federation with his ties to Chancellor Martok of the Klingon Empire, making a decision that could avert disaster or ignite war.
The story explores the complexities of political alliances, personal duties, and the heavy burden of command as the crew seeks to prevent a looming catastrophe that could alter the balance of power in the galaxy.

It was supposed to be a mission of mercy, until the unthinkable occurred: the destruction of the U.S.S. Juno, killing all hands on board. Starfleet Command has unjustly assessed the actions of Captain Picard and the Enterprise crew during that fateful assignment to the Rashanar Battle Site -- the sector that saw one of the fiercest conflicts of the Dominion War, and which is now a hazardous interstellar graveyard filled with hundreds of devastated starships. While the court-ordered medical evaluation that relieved Picard of command is ongoing, there is growing speculation that his illustrious career may be coming to an end.
To clear his former commander, acting captain William Riker and a demoralized skeleton crew agree to conduct a covert operation, and must venture the Starship Enterprise back into Rashanar to track down a mythical menace -- one that may already be responsible for the annihilation of countless fully armed starships. Unbridled hostility and the promise of death lurk at every turn, but they could never imagine that their only chance of survival may lie in the unexpected return of a long-absent friend....
