  Project Genesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Genesis Project was developed by a team of Federation scientists, led by Dr. Carol Marcus and her son Dr. David Marcus, working in an orbital laboratory in orbit around the Class D planetoid Regula.
The Genesis Project was first proposed to the Federation in the early 2280's.
It is suggested in "Genesis Wave" that Starfleet intelligence actively sabotaged the efforts of the Romulans and Cardassians to replicate the technology, and that the disastrous explosion of the Klingon moon Praxis was actually due to the catastrophic failure of an experimental Genesis matrix.

 Abacab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After years of using outside record producers, Genesis produced Abacab solely by themselves, while limiting further still the amount of solo compositions in favor of the group-written pieces.
Due to its daring shift in style, Abacab is generally considered one of Genesis' most important releases, and was a springboard for future hit albums Genesis and Invisible Touch.
Highly influenced by punk and new-wave, many Genesis fans were shocked by an album that was often perceived as minimalist, bare, and very much a musical companion to the abstract artwork on its cover.

 : The Genesis Wave, Book Three (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
Unknown to Picard and his crew, the use of the Genesis Wave on a galactic scale had weakened the walls between our dimension and one right next door, one that harbors a deadly threat to not only the survival of civilization throughout the galaxy, but the survival of reality itself.
The Genesis Wave, Book Three, is the final volume of an apocalyptic adventure that pits the desperate crew of the Starship Enterprise against a disaster of universal proportions.
Genesis Wave: Book 3 is everything that the first two books weren't: boring, plodding, with bad characterization and large stretches where nothing interesting happens.

Genesis was a recent event, and crossover, in the DC Universe.
When the wave reached the edge of the universe, it bounced back, and this time, as it passed planets, it created meta-humans (who because superheroes).
Genesis was a four-part miniseries, and all DC Universe titles tied into this story.

 The Genesis Wave: Bk.1 (Star Trek: The Next Generation S.) Book at Shop Ireland
I picked up the Genesis Wave books, by John Vornholt, because they looked interesting and they are another link from the Original Series (TOS) to the Next Generation (TNG).
On the other hand, we do see, first-hand, the effects of the Wave, as Leah Brahms (the love of Geordi LaForge's life, though she doesn't know that) weathers it in a specially modified environmental suit that she was experimenting with for other reasons.
Project Genesis will be very familiar to all fans who recall one of the earlier films to feature the original crew of the Enterprise.

 Book Information: Genesis Wave, the: Book 2 :: Internet Book List :: A database of book information and reviews
Like an unstoppable cosmic storm, the dreaded Genesis Wave continues to sweep across the Alpha Quadrant, transforming entire planets on a molecular level and threatening entire civilizations with extinction.
To combat the rushing terror of the wave, Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise have been forced into a tense alliance with both the Klingons and the Romulan Empire, both of whom may crave the forbidden secrets of the Genesis technology for themselves.
But even if, against all odds, the Genesis Wave can be defeated, Picard and his potentially treacherous allies must still confront the greater mystery of what unknown intelligence dared to launch the wave against an unsuspecting galaxy - and for what malevolent purpose...

While the Federation suspended all research into Genesis due to its instability as a creative force and its catastrophic potential as a weapon, an unknown enemy uses Marcus to develop a carrier wave for the Genesis effect, which is then unleashed on an unsuspecting galaxy.
As all friendly hands attempt to protect the billions of lives in the path of the destructive wave, Vornholt manages to inject a personal touch to the adventure, with a personal story arc for Geordi La Forge, as his feelings for Brahms are always on the periphery.
For example, after the events surrounding the first Genesis experiments are revealed to the Federation and her allies, foes and other non-aligned parties, the Klingon Empire sees this as a paradigm in weapons advancement, with the Klingons lagging behind in this new arms race.

 The Genesis Wave, Book One
Though she doesn't recognize the effect, the elderly Klingon Maltz knows exactly what it is, and joins with Brahms in an attempt to warn the Federation that this new, uncontrolled Genesis wave appears to be on course for Earth.
Anyone who remembers the beautiful computerized visuals from The Wrath of Khan, as the Genesis wave turned a dead moon into a living planet, will be impressed with the graphic descriptions of its inverse, as the wave turns an already-thriving planet into something that sounds like unchecked cancerous growth.
As Vornholt keeps pointing out, Genesis has amazing capabilities as a dramatic device as well as a terraforming agent; because it makes changes at the subatomic level, it could be used for cellular regeneration, offering eternal life or constant revival like Spock experienced in the films.

Standing against them is the Genesis Force, a covert Federation group of humans and aliens with extra abilities greater than those of the average humanoid.
That said it is a very good book, though the synopsis is slightly misleading, the whole idea of the genesis force seems very vague to me, the story covers more of the plight of a single planet rather than the whole ‘genesis sector’.
