Belle Terre by Diane Carey & Dean Wesley Smith

Description: The Starship Enterprise has embarked on its most ambitious assignment yet: to lead a courageous band of settlers to a far-off planet, to defend the fragile colony from alien threats, and to unravel the enigmatic riddles of a brand-new Earth!

A six-month distance from the Federation, the planet Belle Terre offers a new life to more than 30,000 families, pioneers, scientists, expatriates, go-getters, loners, and entrepreneurs, all under the watchful eye of Captain Kirk and his crew. But the would-be colonishts have barely settled in the untamed wilderness of their new home when Spock makes a startling discovery: not only does one of the planet's moons contain a rare ore of inestimable value, that same moon is also violently unstable. Within months, it will inevitably explode—destroying all life on Belle Terre!
