TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION hardcover: IMZADI, the long awaited
novel that takes the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise from the outer
limits of time and space to the inner reaches of the human heart.
Years before they served together on board the U.S.S. Enterprise,
Commander William Riker and ship's counselor Deanna Troi had a
tempestuous love affair on her home planet of Betazed. Now, their
passions have cooled, and they serve together as friends. Yet the
memories of that time linger and Riker and Troi remain Imzadi --
a powerful Betazoid term that describes the enduring bond they
still share.
During delicate negotiations with an aggressive race called the
Sindareen, Deanna Troi mysteriously falls ill... and dies. But
her death is only the beginning of the adventure for Commander
Riker -- an adventure that will take him across time, pit him
against one of his closest friends, and force him to choose between
Starfleet's strictest rule and the one he calls Imzadi.

A survey team from the planet beams on board the Enterprise to search
for "contraband" materials -- and suddenly the crew find themselves plunged
into the middle of a murderous civil war between a determined band of
rebels and the planet's ruthless mind police. A civil war whose outcome
will determine not only the future of the planet Rampart, but the the life
of Captain Jean-Luc Picard as well.

Plot Summary:
The Borg -- half organic being and half machine, they are the most feared
race in the known galaxy. In their relentless quest for technological
perfection, they have destroyed entire star systems, enslaved countless
peoples, and in a single brutal attack, decimated Starfleet's mightiest
vessels. Only a final desperate gambit by Captain Picard and the
Enterprise crew stopped the Borg from conquering the entire Federation.
And now they have returned...
Answering a distress call from a planet under attack by the Borg, the
Enterprise meets Delcara, the lone survivor of an alien race the Borg
obliterated. Blinded by hatred, Delcara seeks the ultimate revenge --
the complete destruction of her race's executioners. But the Enterprise
crew learns that Delcara's vengeance carries a terrible price, for once
unleashed, the destructive force she commands will annihilate not only
the Borg, but countless innocents as well...

TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION hardcover: IMZADI, the long awaited
novel that takes the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise from the outer
limits of time and space to the inner reaches of the human heart.
Years before they served together on board the U.S.S. Enterprise,
Commander William Riker and ship's counselor Deanna Troi had a
tempestuous love affair on her home planet of Betazed. Now, their
passions have cooled, and they serve together as friends. Yet the
memories of that time linger and Riker and Troi remain Imzadi --
a powerful Betazoid term that describes the enduring bond they
still share.
During delicate negotiations with an aggressive race called the
Sindareen, Deanna Troi mysteriously falls ill... and dies. But
her death is only the beginning of the adventure for Commander
Riker -- an adventure that will take him across time, pit him
against one of his closest friends, and force him to choose between
