Summary: In True Enterprise Spirit
Review: I love everything about this one.... especially * Q, * paradox consisting of 3 tachyon pulses from 3 enterprises of diferrent times, * relatively new concepts in temporal mechanics - anti time vs normal time, * the new Enterprise D with 3 warpnacell and Admiral Riker aboard, * etc. etc. especially :-When Picard says...after looking at everyone on the gambling table..."I should have done this long time ago"

Summary: AN ERA ENDS!
Review: IN MY OPINION, THE NOVELIZATION OF TNG'S LAST TELEVISION EPISODE 'ALL GOOD THINGS...', IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE EPISODE. THERE IS A LOT MORE MATERIAL (FOR EXAMPLE, LT. TASHA YAR MEETING DEANNA TROI FOR THE FIRST TIME, ETC.) AND CHARACTERS (LWAXANA TROI, KATE PULANSKI, WESLEY CRUSHER, KEIKO O'BRIEN, GUINAN, THE TRAVELER, ETC.) FEATURED IN THIS BOOK THAT ARE NOT IN THE EPISODE. A GREAT READ! THE ONLY THING THAT I SUGGEST TO THE READER IS THIS, IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUY THIS BOOK FOR KEEPS, IT IS BEST THAT YOU TRY AND BUY A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL HARDBACK COVER EDITION. IN THE HARDBACK, THERE ARE WONDERFUL GLOSSY, COLOR PHOTOS. IN THE SOFTBACK, THE PHOTOS ARE SMALLER, AND ARE BLACK AND WHITE WITH VERY LITTLE DETAIL IN THEM.

Summary: The ending of the Next Generation....or is it??
Review: In this engrossing tale Picard finds himself in several different places at once giving us tantalizing glimpses of what may be the future for the crew. At the root of the story is our favorite bad guy, Q. The big question, will man kind survive yet again is a forgone conclusion with Picard there to ensure it, but the way it happens will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time

Summary: ST:TNG All Good Things...
Review: Star Trek: The Next Generation; All Good Things... novelization by Michael Jan Friedman based on All Good Things... Written By Ronald D. Moore & Brannon Braga is base on the television episode by the same name. What you found in the television episode is covered in this book, but the leaps in logic and continuity are better covered in this novel. What I found very inteesting was the author's way of coveying time... past, present, and future. It was smooth and integrated in the storyline making for a logical progression. The book is about Captain Jean-Luc Picard's fight to save the human race from the ravages of the "Q." The verdict is in, and humanity must be destroyed. As Picard makes his case for humanity, "Q" takes Picard on trips to the past and future making for an interesting read. As Picard looks "Q" in the eye and stoically asks "Q" having reached a verdict... have you decided upon a sentence? "Q" replies that he has... It's time to end your trek through the stars... and make room for a more worthy species. "Q" has wrapped up humanity's fate... You're to be denied existence... you will be destroyed. Knowing this, Picard makes a valent attempt to save all humanity. This is a Picard/"Q" book and it is very well-written, intriguing and is the novelization of the classic final episode of The Next Generation's television journey. A very fast read as Picard in his effort to save humanity, must sacrifice himself and all those he holds dear... perhaps more than once as this has a time travel theme to it... and if Picard fails... Mankind is doomed.

Summary: Intriguing!
Review: The book was very interesting and used the concept of Time very well. Although the novel is based on a TV script, the way he explains and emphasizes Picard being in the past, present, and future all at the same time is excellent. By far the best Star Trek novel I have ever read!

Summary: Faithful novelization of a good episode.
Review: There are a couple of major quibbles I have with the plot, however, and while it is not the fault of the book that the flaws are there (they were there in the episode) I still find that I can't rate the book higher given those sloppinesses. I don't know what I'd have done if I were making the novelization, and had to choose between diverging from the episode or making sense, but still... The first flaw is in the claim that the three beams that created the anomaly were from "three different Enterprises, at three different times". Nice idea, but they WEREN'T. One of them (the one in the future) was from Beverly Crusher's medical ship; the future Enterprise never sent off a tachyon pulse. The second is that the anomaly, supposedly an "anti-time" anomaly, moves BACKWARD in time from its origin point, yet Picard and company find it FORWARD in time from its origin point, and growing. I realize that when dealing with temporal anomalies, time travel, and weird physics, anything is possible. But it would be nice if things made sense INTERNALLY; if they can't be made to do so, it would be nice if the characters in the book at least acknowledged the wrongness and their inability to explain things. These flaws went a long way toward ruining a good story for me.
