This was a nice first-contact story with enough mysteries and questions to keep the story going. I enjoyed the trip back in early TNG days (around the fifth season). ( )

We got two pages in, and already I felt like I was in an alternate universe. Dr Crusher "pouts" and Picard "scolds" (OK, Picard DOES scold) and she calls him maternal (!!!!) and he gives her parenting advice (!!!!!!!) Fortunately it gets better, although I don't think it ever quite nails Picard's relationship to kids. There's notably a moment where Kenny (a teenager) says that he got into writing poetry because he made a computer program to analyze rhyme schemes - shades of NM, heh.

Always enjoy a good Star Trek when the characters are spot on. ( )

Book description
    "LOOKS LIKE SHE'S SEEN BETTER DAYS." WESLEY CRUSHER MURMURED.

Data repeated his message - again with no response. Then the alien vessel held its heading leaving no doubt that its interception with the tiny shuttlecraft was not a coincidence

"Evasive maneuvers," Data said calmly.

Without warning, a tractor beam leapt from the silent intruder, snaring the shuttlecraft in a pulsing golden haze. The small vessel shook in protest, shuddering down to its rivets.

Wesley swallowed hard. "Commander, that tractor beam is to intense. If it keeps up, we're going to break apart."

"I concur," Data said evenly.
