Death in Winter

Death in Winter is a Star Trek: The Next Generation novel, written by Michael Jan Friedman, published in hardcover in September 2005.[1]

Plot

It is the first novel featuring Capt. Jean-Luc Picard to be set after Star Trek Nemesis.[1] The plot concerns an attempt to stop a plague on a Romulan colony called Kevratas, and the relationship between Picard and Dr. Beverly Crusher. It also describes Dr. Crusher's first encounter of a similar plague as a teenager on the colony of Arvada III. A faction of the Romulan Star Empire wishes to keep the plague alive in an attempt to undermine newly appointed Romulan Praetor Tal'aura. Picard will be faced with working alongside allies new and old, as well as an enemy from the past who has a way of turning up when Picard least expects.

This book also includes characters Doctor Carter Greyhorse, a scientist whose past has landed him in a penal colony, along with Pug Joseph, a former member of Starfleet turned merchant, both of whom served with Picard aboard the USS Stargazer.

gollark: Like I said, you're taking a minor issue and somehow using it to suggest that the entire idea of technological civilisation is bad by completely failing tk consider alternative explanations.
gollark: Oh no, how awful, large progress.
gollark: Also, yes, apparently the global trend is not for those to be increasing. Unless you're being totally US-centric.
gollark: You've jumped immediately to "pretty high suicide rates → everyone is unhappy" and I think you've failed to consider other things.
