Summary: ST-TNG: Imzadi
Comment: Star Trek - The Next Generation: Imzadi written by Peter David is a classic, in the sense that the story is that of love, mystery, and of temporal events, all spun together by a master storyteller.
Commander Riker is taken on a wild ride of emotions throughout this book... from dispair, depression, and longing, to warmest love and happiness. A real roller coaster emotional ride for the reader as this story is cleverly crafted. Riker is running a Starbase in his elder years and remembering his Imzadi Deanna Troi. Imzadi is a powerful Betazoid term that describes the enduring bond of two people, in this case Riker and Troi.
As Riker gets word the Lwaxana Troi is dying. Riker makes the trip and Lwaxana lays the blame of Deanna's death, at the hands of the Sindareen, squarely on Riker. Riker's memories of a happier times comes back in his memories and Data makes a suggestion about the Guardian of Forever. It seems that the books I like the best all involve this Iconian relic of space and time... and this is no exception. It was something that Riker knew all too well, for he had stared squarely into the face of regert. There had been a time when an incarnation of Riker from the future had used the Guardian of Forever to come back in time. In that Riker's reality, Deanna Troi had died forty years previously, and he had never gotten over it. Eventually he had come to that conclusion that Deanna had been murdered and, using the Guardian, had come back it time to try to avert that calamity.
This book moves quite quickly and the character-driven dialog is spot-on. For an all encompassing and engrossing love story with a Star Trek flair, you can't go wrong with this book. This is one of Peter David's best efforts in the Trek genre.

Summary: The best Star Trek novel EVER! David is a Star Trek genius.
Comment: This is the most ENGROSSING, COMPELLING, and BRILLIANT Star Trek book ever written. Peter explores the peaks and depths of the Riker/Troi relationship and does so in a can't-put-it-down kind of book. I read this book in two days! For those who may read one of the other reviews critical of the sex in the book, let me just say it was handled tastefully. Yes, Riker is a womanizing sleaze, but that is simply part of his character. The same man who is so successful and driven in his professional life, struggles with his sex drive and his personal life. This causes him some embarassment and costs him his one true love. That Riker has feelings for Deanna that are so strong he would defy Data, the Prime Directive and his feelings of duty - when that duty means as much or more to him than anything else in his life - is proof positive that he truly LOVES her. Sexual tension is part of any truly romantic relationship, is it not? In closing, let me say I bought "Imzadi" for a close friend and fellow Star Trek fan who had never read the books, and she loved it so much that she is now buying every single Star Trek book ever written by Peter David! I bought one of my friends who is quite pompous when it comes to Star Trek (he is an English major who feels that science fiction in general and Star Trek in particular is "drivel") "Imzadi" as well. He loved it! So pick up this book! Today! It's a masterpiece!

Summary: Peter Davids' world for us readers
Comment: I read all kinds of books, from biographies to science fiction, and I feel this book hit me hard. As a Star Trek fan,I decided to buy this book because I have always wondered about Will and Deanna's relationship. It was perfect! Hats off to Peter David, who through this book(and numerous others) has shown his love for writing. It was well researched and well written. Peter David has mastered his writing skills and has made it easy reading with all the time leaps. This book has everything from the possible future to the first detailed days of Will and Deannas first meeting. It is really with out question the best book I have read. It is a book for everyone, not just Star Trek fans. I hope evryone realizes this. It is a dream that is brought to life through marvolous writing and exceptional skills.
