Star Trek: The Next Generation: Triangle: Imzadi II
“David is a genuine and veteran master of the demanding art of the tie-in novel, and provides smart handling of Star Trek elements and a brisk story, enhanced by well-done action scenes and the ability to give the Star Trek universe a lived-in feel. Add to this insight into the characters, David’s usual wit and a graceful handling of sexuality, and readers will end the book with great satisfaction if they are serious Trekkers and recognition of a notable talent at work if they are not.”
Publishers Weekly
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™.
