Deanna Troi and William Riker share an incredible bond, one that Peter David captures in beautiful storytelling and compelling novel. Exploring this relationship through time travel & parallel outcomes, this book is a must read for Star Trek : The Next Generation fans and romance fans alike. For those who also want to know a bit more about their relationship and the history of these two characters, I would recommend Imzadi wholeheartedly. ( )

Not near as good as all the hype I have read. I just did not get it. ( )

Let me first say that while I have read quite a few Star Trek books, I don't think any of them are really worth claiming. But I really did enjoy this story. I think because it filled in the history between Deanna Troi and William Riker. It was an easy read, and fun. ( )

A well-done STTNG novel which explores the history and future of the relationship between William Riker and Deanna Troi. Interesting exploration of a relationship always implied on the TV series, but never expanded upon until now. During delicate negotiations with an agressive race Deanna falls ill and dies, starting a chain of events that sends Riker through time, pits him against one of his closest friends and shows him one of several possible futures for himself without Deanna.

David's writing improved tremendously from "Strike Zone," which came out only 2 years earlier. I don't know if most Trek fans will like what is essentially a romance novel, but what the hell ... it's a good story. ( )
