This is ok but not very Starfleet / Star Trek. It also ignores several important factors. One of these is that ST:Enterprise (TV) had gone at warp 5 already, another is that the option to just attack instead of trying to be diplomatic was one of the prime reactions of several characters here. The author is versed in the genre so I really can't understand what happened with this plot / writing. 1.2 stars

Poor Riker gets caught up in quite an adventure while trying to help his old buddy out of a jam. Meanwhile Data somehow cannot just download all the rules and play by play history of baseball and instead has to feel his way through learning the game, and Troi discovers she has a particular fondness for Riker, when he is nearly killed. The romantic bits in this one were a bit too sappy for my tastes, even assuming I was in favor of the romance Riker and Troi were stuffed into in the course of the series (along with the further drama when Warf gets involved with Troi too... bleh). But that thread didn't overtake the plot in this book, and the planet-side adventure was pretty good. I found it a bit hard to suspend disbelief about Data's lack of information on baseball- he's a computer and ought to be able to download at least encyclopedia articles, player stats, and all the various books written on baseball, yet he spent many pages stumbling through just the basic rules of play.
I liked that Crusher got the be the only additional away-team member on the planet, though I wish she had not been sidelined so quickly once she was on the planet. We all know she can handle a phaser, after all.

A pretty interesting expansion of the episode! It adds an entire subplot (in which an ensign is being a brat) and lets us see the surface of the Dyson Sphere, which I'm pretty sure they just straight didn't have the budget to do. Also gets inside Scotty's head more than you possibly can in the episode. All in all, I feel like Michael Jan Friedman really knows what novelizations do well and is leaning into that. Recommended.
