About “Star Trek The Next Generation - Power Hungry”

The 1989 novel by Howard Weinstein follows a Federation crew sent to deliver emergency famine relief to the planet Thiopa, the Federation's only allies in a strategically important part of space. Upon arrival, they discover a brutal dictatorship more focused on maintaining power than protecting its people or the planet. Captain Picard is reluctant to hand over the supplies to the corrupt government, fearing they may not reach those in need. He must decide whether to convince the ruling council to change its ways before it is too late—for both the government and the planet.
