There‘s a lot going on and also not much happens… Many of the characters (especially these three doofuses) are very different than their tv counterparts. Data shows too much emotion, I especially hated the moments where he seemingly got his feelings hurt. I LOATHED the part where Carey says he actually pouts like a child.

panA book that dares to ask: what is season 1 of TNG was more miserable? Not the author's fault, but these chatacters mostly hate being here and interacting with each other and then their own Doomsday Machine shows up with the added wrinkle of debating euthanasia. One in the grand tradition of Ignoring What Troi Says. All this AND sensory deprivation?
Plus, the ghosts show up, what, twice, and don't have an impact beyond stressing Troi out?! Boooooo
Hold on, Riker and Troi have only known each other 5 years?!?!

So far mostly everyone hates each other and being on the Enterprise! My fav has to be Picard being mean to Wes and then being shocked when this child's feelings are hurt.
Well, this book has a real grip on season 1 Picard's characterization, which is to say he's a dick within 2 pages of appearing. Great!!!
#fortheloveoffonts These Star Trek books are rarely any good, but I'm a Trekkie so I read them religiously. Plus, the fonts are so Delta Quadrant.

The plot was meh. I still don‘t understand how this entity swooped through Earth in the 1990‘s, plucked one ship out of the ocean, then apparently left our solar system and didn‘t come into human contact again until the Enterprise stumbled across it randomly out in the galaxy… 🤷♀️
I don‘t know that I can blame Carey for not having a better grasp on the characters ⬇️ 6mo
