Rating: Summary: Great Review of Imzadi II! Review: From the Publishers Weekly 8/24/98 review of Triangle: IMZADI II: "[Peter] David is a genuine and veteran master of the tie-in novel, and provides smart handling of Star Trek elements and a brisk story, enhanced by well-done action scenes and the ability to give the Star Trek universe a lived-in feel. Add to this insight into the characters, David's usual wit and a graceful handling of sexuality, and readers will end the book with great satisfaction if they are serious trekkers and recognition of a notable talent at work if they are not."
Rating: 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.
Rating: Summary: As good as or better than the first! Review: I had read this when it was originally released and felt it was lacking. I recently decided to re read it and give it another chance. I don't regret that at all. Imzadi II is, as stated above, as good as or better than the first. The book starts off with Worf dealing with the pain and anguish over Jadzia, his wife, be killed. Then, it casually rolls over into his reflecting upon his failed engagement to Deanna Troi. Then we meet again with Tom Riker, Commander William T. Riker's doppelganger, who was created through a transporter accident. He's living in misery on Lazon II, a Cardassian labor camp. A result of his joining the Maquis and consequent capture after hijacking the Defiant and attempting to destroy Cardassian targets. We're immediately hurled to when the Enterprise D was destroyed and everybody is on Veridian III. Worf makes the decision to ask for Deanna's hand in marriage. Meanwhile, Riker is speaking with LaForge and decides to tell Deanna he's still in love with her and wants to be with her. Unfortunately for Riker, he's a couple minutes to late and has to bite the bullet for his friend's sake. From there, Peter David crafted another absolutely wonderful Star Trek story. It involves several key players from Star Trek The Next Generation and even someone from Deep Space Nine. One chapter even includes Lwaxana sparring not too successfully with Worf. This is another fine Star Trek novel by Peter David, a wonderful follow up to the earlier Imzadi and a great addition to your Star Trek library
Rating: Summary: DISAPPOINTING Review: I was very excited to read this book. Part one was great, and I love Peter David as an author. But, this book, I felt, was so boring. Only 20% of the book was good. It was one of the worst Star Trek - The Next Generation books I have ever read. I cannot reccommend it to anyone.
