While reading this I complained about a lot of OOC'ness (out of character) going on. Worf is portrayed as basically an animal who wants to kill everyone who looks shady and Geordi is being a baby. At one point he's crying and then he shouts at Data, "Shut up! Just shut up, Data! You think you know every damned thing in the world..."
But I realize the problem. This book was written in 1988, while The Next Generation was just in their first or second season. So the show was still young and the cha...more

Not a very satisfying ST:TNG book at all (and I have read all the ones written before this, and many written after). This book reads like a "hodgepodge"...a collaborative effort of several authors, which is was. Considering that, it's amazing that it had as much cohesiveness as it did, considering the way it was written.
It's not the most memorable of stories, but it does prove that you CAN write a Star Trek novel by committee and still manage to create something that will suitably pass the time, and not turn into a mess of competing writing styles. Read it for its excellent take on the TNG crew, but look elsewhere for a deeper plot.

Doomsday World (Star Trek The Next Generation, No 12) by Peter David, Michael Jan Friedman And Robert Greenberger Carmen Carter (1991)
Not great, but not the worst, either. Finished it, enjoyed it, would not read it again.

I read all these "Next Generation" books in middle school/early high school. Even then I thought most of them were pretty bad. But I'm a completist so they must be included in my book list!
This is ok so far, first ST:TNG book I've read. Not as engaging as the ST:TOS books. Data is comically dry but it's weird trying to experience an android through text only.
Another of those Trek books that would have made a decent episode, but as a book left me underwelmed.
