Summary: UNBELIEVABLY LAME--Imzadi 2 is much better
Review: SUMMARYRiker: "Come on, you know you want me, you hot little number." Deanna: "NO! No! No. no....I mean, yessss." Hideous art pirates come to the telepathic planet Betazed, where citizens waste their amazing psychic powers making sexual advances at every passerby. Poor helpless Deanna Troi, who just needs to relax and stop being so darn intellectual (if you know what I mean, wink wink, nudge nudge), is captured by said pirates and must be rescued from the steamy Betazed jungles by one strapping and astonishly virile Starfleet lieutenant, William Riker. Moral of the story: Plot be damned, you should go ahead and have sex with a rake who gives you the creeps, cuz he's really a neat guy underneath it all. Oh, yeah, and you can change him. Wait a minute--shouldn't Deanna know better being a psychologist of Starfleet caliber and an empath! And shouldn't Riker be a little smoother and a little brainier than all that? But there I go again, expecting the Star Trek book to "somewhat" resemble the Star Trek show. Silly me.

Summary: Imazing
Review: I actually read the sequel to this book first (foolish of me), and now I understand some of the things that were going on in Imzadi II. This book is far better then it's sequel. This book shows the beginning of Riker's and Troi's relationship and how it began (prepared to be surprised). The book focuses on Troi' death and how Riker handles it, over forty years. Special guest star, the Guardian of Forever. If you want more details on Riker's and Troi's relationship, then you must read this book.

Summary: An unrequited love
Review: If you are a Star Trek fan such as myself, you will love "Imzadi". This is an excellent love story between Will Riker and Deanna Troi. If you watched "Encounter at Far Point," when Will Riker came aboard, you could tell there was a past love story between him and Deanna. If there is one Star Trek book you have to get, get this book.

Summary: It's one Riker's beginning and another's Omega.
Review: IMZADI is an exciting, well written novel that plays with the chronological aspect of a story. I haven't read any Star Trek books before, but I intend to read more now! For any Treky that cares, it goes back and explains the mysterious history behind Riker and Troy, and it shows us what the scars of time can turn us into. The characters interact realistically together, and every page is relevant and entertaining. The story begins with the future William Riker, a disgrunteled old man with unresolved issues. Forty years prior, his Imzadi (Deanna Troy) mysteriously fell ill and died. "Imzadi" is a Betazoid term describing the strong psychological bond they share, and Riker falls deep into a perpetual state of depression when he looses what he describes as, "the greater half of himself." When Lwaxana Troy (Deanna's mother) calls Riker to her death bed, old ghosts start popping out at him from his past, forcing him to remember, and he tries to remember back to a time when he felt no pain. From there, the story is told of how they came to know eachother, after which interisting plot twists and timeline jumps keep you on the edge of your seat. This book is realistically written, with an entertaining story line and well dedigned characters; one of them, whom the uncaring streams of time have forced into an intollerable universe, decides he wants to change his own destiny. And maybe he can-if he can get to the Guardian of Forever...

Summary: Absolutely Brilliant
Review: If you read only one Star Trek books this year, make this the one! Seriously, I've read around two dozen Star Trek books, and this one is by far the best. I wish all Star Trek books were this good. The non-linear way in which this story is told and the way it's integrated with the rest of the Trek universe was brilliance on David's part. This book read much more like a real novel than most other Star Trek books -- you can tell a huge amount of effort and thought went into this book. The only remotely negative thing I can say about this book is that it contradicts what we learn in "Infections" about Deanna calling Riker "Bill" when they first meet (which explains why Deanna calls Riker "Bill" in TNG First Season). This book is just as good of an addition to the Trek universe as any television episode you've seen. Highly recommended.

Summary: Funny, romantic and sad.....all at once!
Review: I am a true Star Wars fan, and I really could not see liking Star Trek very well. But I watched one movie, (Insurecction) and then I read this book, and although it sometimes didn't make much sense to me, (having only seen the one movie) I loved it. This is a book that is funny at times, romantic all the time, and strong enough to make you cry. Deanna and Riker (Though I never figured out why, everyone else calls her by her first name and him by his last, so I'll do that too) are strong characters, and easy to get into. They are perfectly capable of living without each other, but they are also strong enough to confront their human (And Betazoid, I guess) weaknesses of not wanting to. A funny, romantic novel that places even those who do not want to be there, inside the Star Trek universe.

Summary: Predictable, actionless, then finally interesting
Review: This was the first Star Trek book I'd ever read, although I have been a long-time fan of the show. I was surprised to find that right away I could see how the entire book would unfold. Getting to the interesting stuff took me through alot of pages of romantic stuff that I found boring, since we know how things turn out for Riker and Troi in the end. I found no suspense in reading how these two people first fornicated (or "became lovers" if you prefer). The three stars I give the book are earned by some interesting and exciting events in the last 20 pages or so. I think you have to really like Riker and Troi to enjoy this book.

Summary: This book is the awesomest book ever written!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book is the best ever written. I love it!!!! I have read 7 or 8 times at least. Every time i reread it i still cry when Counciler Troi dies. It explains a lot of things about the series, ST:TNG, I never knew. It is the best book ever. Even non star trek enthusists will love it. It has everything romance, action, adventure,and mystery. It is ever better now that Riker and Troi get back together in Insurrecion. It is awesome, Peter David is a genuis. Thank you Gene Ronenberry!!!!!!!!!!
