Wow, finally one of this series of books hits the nail on the head. Robert Greenberger writes an excellent story with great action and suspense. I recall these were the types of Star Trek books that got me so into reading them in the first place. Several storylines that are interlinked and the book bounces around hitting on all the storylines in a logical and entertaining manner. Some books go on and on covering one storyline until you have forgotten the "other" storylines, but NOT in this book....more
I have a compulsion (or maybe, really it's a fetish--I'm a little murky on the distinction, as well as my own responses) to finish a series. This is the 5th book in the A Time to... series of Star Trek: The Next Generation novels set between the movies Star Trek: Resurrection and Star Trek: Nemesis.
I liked the first four well enough. Complex, lots of emphasis on characters I like but often aren't the focus of things.

This is the first part of a duology (with A TIME TO HATE) in this nine part Star Trek series chronicling the activities of the Enterprise and crew between the two movies Insurrection and Nemesis. The first four books were great. This one, not so much.
The basic premise is that two warring cultures were colonizing planets and both laid claim to Delta Sigma IV a hundred years ago. Rather than fight over the planet, the two races--the Bader and the Dorset--decided to work together and forged a new p...more

This book is half of a well-written, compelling story. If you enjoy books that end on a cliffhanger, with an implied "tune in next time, same bat-time, same bat-channel" continuation to the next book, then consider this a five-star review. If, on the other hand, like me you get dreadfully sick of paying money for a book with no ending, you may want to avoid it, or at least plan on reading it continuously with the next book in the series and treating them as one book under two covers.
Again, ending on a cliffhanger, which I'm not in love with. But at least I know it's coming in this series. Not nearly as "meh" as some of the previous duologies in this series. Still not getting that feeling of Trek unbound, which I like in some of the older TOS novels, but at least the story is interesting and not puerile. I'm thinking Riker has possibilities in fiction because he was kind of flat on the screen at times, so there's room to fill something in.
This was my first Star Trek novel in a long time. I enjoyed it because it was a little like meeting old friends LOL. I didn't realize that it is one of a whole series of "A time to ..." book and this is the 6th book of them. It doesn't bring a solution to the problems on the planet so I guess I will have to read the next one in the series also.
Yet again another fantastic change of pace. These books concentrate on a much more diplomatic mission and also had a lot of intrigue in the Starfleet Intelligence sub-plot. Yet more answers to the who's and why's of the start of Nemesis too !
Great series of Star Trek novels... Can't wait to pick these up again.
Now we get to see what brought Troi and Riker to their marriage decision.
another step down the road. again, geordi and data were the best parts.
