Masks (Star Trek Next Generation 7) | 
My first Star Trek novel! At first I was thrown off by the omniscient third person point of view, a style I haven‘t read in a long time, but it worked for the ensemble cast. Occasionally the characterization was spot on, but sometimes it had me scratching my head, particularly how Data was constantly represented as having emotions. All in all, an amusing read with several fun twists.
StaceGhost Data always was more human than he gave himself credit for! When Tasha was killed he was sad about it— and that was early days! 3y
Kyndrill So true! Sometimes the whole “I cannot feel emotions” thing just doesn‘t seem right. Maybe he was always feeling them but just didn‘t know what they were. 3y
Nute I am a huge Star Trek fan, but only of the television shows. I have never considered reading the books. Are the books novelizations of the T.V. programs or are the television shows adapted from the books? 3y
Kyndrill @Nute They are novelizations based on the T.V. shows, but with different stories than any of the episodes. I grew up watching The Next Generation and remember my mom reading a lot of the books! So after finishing my re-watch of The Next Generation I decided I wanted to try some of the books. I have another two still to read which are a story about Q. Which is your favorite of the Star Trek T.V. series? 3y
