Ever since the fall of the Thallonian Empire, Si Cwan has been searching for his younger sister, the only other survivor of the royal family. His quest has been a hard one, filled with many disappointments, but now it may be nearing its end.... On the planet Montos, a mysterious young woman, whose past is shrouded in secrecy, finds herself pursued by both the fanatical Redeemers and a vicious race of feral predators known only as the Dogs of War. All are in search of information regarding the true nature and location of the Quiet Place, a mystical realm celebrated in myth and legend. Only this same woman, now called Riella, may hold the secret of the Quiet Place, a secret that the Redeemers and others will kill to possess. Is Riella indeed Si Cwan's long-lost sister? Before he can learn the truth, he and his crewmates must brave the unchecked savagery of the Dogs of War -- and enter the terrifying heart of the Quiet Place.… (altro)
In which we meet Xyon and Riella, the Redeemers and the Dogs of War, and figure out what the Quiet Place is.
I think The Quiet Place is my favorite in the series so far, for the same reason that it's not as beloved by hardcore Star Trek: New Frontier fans -- it focuses on entirely new characters who are mostly incidental to the USS Excalibur, and it tells a complete adventure story with a beginning, middle and end. Most of the other books have been clearly part of a series, where readers' enjoyment comes primarily from the serial nature and the genre nods to the TV series, but this book benefits from the series background while also standing alone.

The German editions of New Frontier are numbered differently-- so #5 Ort der Stille (Place of Silence) / Die Hunde des Krieges (The Dogs of War) is the same as #7 The Quiet Place.
