The recent ST novel "The Wounded Sky" by Diane Duane
has a nice escape from the "box" of having an energy
barrier around the galaxy.  It really wasn't a barrier,
but the leading edge of a "megabubble"--the wavefront of
leftover radiations and etc. from some wonderful cosmic
demolition derby.  Kirk & company encountered that
wavefront when they twice tried to leave the galaxy.
Probes since that time (in Duane's universe) showed
the true nature of the problem.

Not a bad method of getting out of one of the episodic
"traps."
