Imzadi Forever
Ratings7
Average rating3.7
Imzadi: to the people of the planet Betazed, including Counselor Deanna Troi of the Starship Enterprise,™ it means "beloved" and denotes that which can never be truly broken. Yet to whom does Deanna's heart truly belong? Commander William Riker was the first Deanna called Imzadi. Long before they served together on board the Enterprise, they shared a tempestuous love affair back on Betazed. And even now, many years later, Riker will embark on a desperate journey across time and space to save Deanna's life. But Riker is not the only Starfleet officer to capture Deanna's heart. Lieutenant Commander Worf, the fierce Klingon warrior, is also drawn to Deanna's gentle and caring nature. Brought together by fate, he and Deanna share an unexpected passion that tests the bonds between Troi and Riker -- even as a deadly Romulan conspiracy threatens them all!

I felt as though Peter David captured the essence of the Riker character incredibly well. The overall story is a bit slow and not much really happens. But I still found myself enjoying it quite a lot.
A bit convoluted, and some regressive gender politics, but still such a pleasurable read. It's clear that David has a lot of affection for the characters, and it was great to spend so much time with Troi and the Betazoids.
Oh my goodness, shame on Peter David. He turned one of the cutest couples (Riker/Troi) from one of the most progressive sci fi shows out there (The Next Generation) into a pair of flat, one-dimensional characters out of some steamy, B-grade bodice ripper. What's most annoying is how stupidly regressive this is: capable Troi suddenly becomes a helpless damsel in distress; Riker's not much better than some beefy ape using his physical brawn to save her. And the entire Betazoid culture becomes a land of touchy-feely, wimpy art lovers. Spare me!
Two stars only because the IDEA of the book - Data chasing a bitter, old Riker through parallel universes - could have been so good.
