Imzadi
by Peter David
If you’re reading this novel, you’re probably already a fan of TNG’s ultimate power couple: Will Riker & Deanna Troi. This novel is centered on a murder mystery but also includes elements of time travel, alternate realities, naked weddings, flashbacks, and Data’s head used like a dodgeball. This novel helped to cement this power couple’s reign (despite that odd hiccup when Troi and Worf were an item) and is one of the more brilliant TNG novels that I’ve read in terms of plot complexity, character development, and sci-fi adventure.
I've read this book many times after it first came out, but my absence from it made it feel new once again. Peter David has penned a very exciting, emotionally charged, and intellectual story. The voices are dead on especially that of Lwaxana Troi who was always a dramatic delight of the series. Time travel is a difficult concept to do well. The effects can be so complex and consequential to the series its within. David masterfully weaved the story between this difficult concept. It makes no presumptions or changes to the series but it did give us a great story encompassing the sweethearts of TNG: Riker and Troi. It was a tight plotline that was fully realized in the end. The cause and effect of time travel were done brilliantly. One of the best works of TNG fiction.
Riker: "Who really cares about all this physical touching. Not young Deanna Troi. Its the spiritual that's important... that's forever..."
