Summary: I was a little disapointed, but not too much
Review: There is a lot of action, suspense, and some seriously complicated relationships are explained in-depth. I enjoyed it, but not as much as the first book. Several charachters are brought in that were not in the last book, even Thomas Riker(if you remember that transported accident in which Riker was duplicated) which adds quite an interresting plot. There were still a few questions which I don't think were answered well enough but the book contains betrayal, romulans....and I thought of writing more but don't want to ruin the reading experience of discovering it for yourself.

Summary: VERY ENJOYABLE--Better Than the First Imzadi
Review: This novel is about the brief romance between Worf & Deanna Troi and the causes of its dissolution. It also features Tom Riker (William Riker's double), Sela (Tasha's bitter Romulan daughter), Alexander (Worf's 3/4 Klingon son), and Lwaxana Troi (Deanna's "eccentric" Betazoid mother), among others. I love and watch the shows, but I won't claim to be an expert on the Star Trek universe. I've only read a handful of Star Trek novels, but chronological purity in a series never worries me anyway. That said, I really enjoyed this novel. And it wasn't because I was enamored of David's prose style. He has a habit of quantifying emotional states, with "somewhat mad" and "majorly upset" and "not particularly happy" etc. What I loved about this book was that it featured men probing their emotions and questioning their own inner lives. There was also a lot of action to keep the pace moving. Yet, much of the text consisted of conversation, keeping it firmly rooted in characterization. The nuances of Deanna's romance with Worf were more interesting to me than that of hers with Riker. Their differences kept the story crackling and alive. In the case of Worf & Deanna, there are the cross-cultural conflicts of custom and philosophy. There is also Alexander to be considered, a possible stepchild. For me, these elements were more interesting than whether Johnny Rocket/Riker would ever manage to appreciate Deanna and look beyond his ego long enough to commit to her. Riker is a woman's cheesy self-help book waiting to happen. I can't say I agree with the author's ultimate explanation of what true love is, but I certainly enjoyed the exploration, the journey getting there. Thanks, Mr. David.

Summary: Fills in a missing storyline for TNG fans, but...
Review: When I first ordered this e-book, I was chomping at the bit to know how Worf migrated from his affair with the eminently emotional Deanna Troi at the end of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," to his eventual marriage to the supremely logical, enigmatic Jadzia-Dax on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine." Knowing how much I like Peter David's other Star Trek work, (including the first Imzadi novel, as well as the acclaimed and controversial New Frontier series.) I was pleased to see he had taken a crack at unraveling the mystery. But, sadly, I was disappointed. Peter David is capable of much better writing than he gives us here. Although the novel begins well (with a typical Peter David high-action conundrum as Tom Riker is extracted, rather violently, from a Cardassian prison moon by...whom?), it goes downhill from there, culmanating in a cheesy prison-brawl. Come on, Peter. Who didn't see that coming? My advice: If you, like me, just have to know the missing chapter of Worf's life, check it out at the library. Don't waste your money.
