The sequel to Peter David's "Imzadi", in which the triangle between Worf and Will Riker and Deanna Troi is explored. The science fiction plot involving Klingon and Romulan intrigue and betrayal is almost incidental to the fascinating and plausible interplay between the three principals, although Peter David was apparently instructed to leave the basic zeitgest unchanged, as evidenced by the weak and disappointing resolution between Riker and Deanna Troi.
