Doomsday World by Michael Jan Friedman, Carmen Carter, Robert Greenberger, Peter David

3.0

The Enterprise goes to a world shared between the Federation and another empire. Relations are mostly peaceful between the two, thanks to the fact that the two ambassadors, while not anything alike, have developed a friendship. Both ambassadors were done quite well, and even when outside sources conspired to pit them against each other, there was enough left of their unraveling relationship to turn away from slaughter until Data, Geordi, and Worf figured everything out. That's the kind of thing that Star Trek does well I think - the determined practice of soft power, between two old diplomats who like each other more than they should.

High point, though, was Worf's solution to the Doomsday World of the title. I won't give it away, but he was generally excellent here.
