Star Trek: The Next Generation #64: Immortal Coil

Rating:
Summary: For the Data fans only...
Review: Avoiding as many spoilers as possible, I will say this book was fun to read. Not mind-provoking or extremely philosophical, but definitely a joy.

The book starts out with the death of a distant, but noted companion of Data's from the series. Data, who at this time possesses emotions, and is starting to use contractions, is forced to contemplate exactly where he stands when it comes to his immortality (or potential immortality) and the people he loves that will inevitably die.

Meanwhile, on Galor IV, Bruce Maddox and Admiral Haftel (yes, these characters play interesting parts in the book) are seconds away from activating an android of their very own.

Even Noonian Soong is placed into this book in back-flashes, and it's nice to see him, even if it's not with Data.

Unfortunately, there's no way to complete this review without spoiling key parts. But, overall, I will say it's nice to see a book dedicated to such a loved character. Even if you don't want to consider it 'canon' for one reason or another, it's still fun to read.
