What Novel is this From

[Tsakara]

I am trying to remember what novel this bit of passage I remember came from. I think its either from Maximum Warp, or Federation, but I'm not sure. Its been a while since I've read a Star Trek novel and all the stories seem to have swirled together.

here is the bit I remember:

some science women is talking to the officers, explaining why the Enterprise is being sent to check out ____ phenomena, I don't remember exactly but it was something along the lines of "The Enterprise has encountered more subspace phenomena then we thought existed. Stardate... the enterprise is (mentions the episode where the enterprise and romulan warbird were frozen in time) Stardate ..... enterprise is trapped in a Temporal Causality Loop, What the hell is a temporal causality loop?"

It was a very memorable quote, but I can't seem to figure out exactly where it came from.
I know Its kind of a shot in the dark but can someone help me out?

 

[Trent Roman]

I'm thinking neither, actually. This reminds me most of Andrea.... something, the civilian scientist who asks the Enterprise to be assigned to her project because of the frequency with which it runs into these odds spatial phenomena, in Q-Squared.

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman

^Trent is correct.

It is indeed from Q-Squared by Peter David.

is that the same book with the green woman that wants to bear wesleys children??

No, that would be Q-in-Law IIRC.
