Imzadi: to the people of the planet Betazed, including Counselor Deanna Troi of the Starship Enterprise, it means beloved and denotes a special closeness that can never be truly broken. Or can it? In his acclaimed earlier novel, Imzadi, bestselling author Peter David explored the special bond between Deanna Troi and Commander William T. Riker. It revealed new facets of their long and intimate relationship and put that bond to its ultimate test in a powerful and unforgettable story that remains one of the most popular Star Trek adventures ever published. Now David examines the heart of Deanna Troi from an altogether different perspective, as he reveals for the first time the full story of Troi's troubled romance with Lieutenant Commander Worf. At first glance, they cannot be more different. She is an empath, gentle and acutely sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. He is a fierce Klingon warrior, dedicated to a harsh and warlike code of honor. Brought together, however, by a common need to care for Alexander, Worf's troubled, motherless son, they discover hidden reserves of courage and compassion within each other and embark on an unexpected courtship, much to the surprise and discomfort of William Riker. But does Worf's future truly lie with Deanna... or on a distant outpost called Deep Space 9? And whom indeed shall Troi ultimately call imzadi? Imzadi II is a compelling story, an untold chapter in the history of the Starship Enterprise.… (more)

Peter David did his best to fix the mess that Rick Berman's and Michael Pillar's hard on for "Beauty and the Beast" via Worf and Troi screwed up. Especially because they messed up his NYT bestseller Imzadi in the process (still the best selling Trek novel). He does a nice job of highlighting why Worf and Troi don't work. The fly in the ointment was that he wasn't allowed to bring the Troi/Riker relationship home so the ending flies in the face of everything we've come to know William Riker to be.

But it's a Peter David book. It's fun. It's interesting. It's definitely worth reading. ( )

In this sequel, we see what happens with Worf and Deanna's relationship after Star Trek: Generations and how Riker reacts. Plus lots of Star Trek action.

I remain pretty fond of this novel as well although it's not quite as strong as [Imzadi]. That said, there's a lot of fun character stuff going on for everyone and a fair amount of action that keeps the pages flying. For TNG fans, obvs. ( )

Since Imzadi was my favorite Star Trek novel ever, I really wanted this one to live up to it, but was instead disappionted. ( )

Ok - passed the time and was quite funny in places. End is a cop out though as author cannot mess with the film timeline and that makes it a bit unsatisfying. ( )

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.
