Star Trek The Next Generation: Imzadi II: Triangle Book

Reading this book reminded the expression "Falling from ecstasy to agony". I say this since to me "Imzadi", the first novel, also by Peter David is my favorite novel of Star Trek, and easily can reach the point of my favorite novel ever (see review of that novel here: Imzadi ). So, maybe can imagine how excited was when I knew that there was a sequel, written by the same author. I didn't understand why there was a sequel since the first novel had a very fair conclussion. However, I said myself: "Hey, who cares? It's a sequel to Imzadi!!!" Well, there are things that it's much better to keep them as an isolated success and not trying to repeat it. And "Imzadi II: Triangle" was of those cases. I think that it even wasn't fault of Peter David, but to the decision of the producers in Star Trek: The Next Generation to put together Deanna Troi with Worf. Worf? Really? I have nothing against the character, many of the best Klingon-related stories on the series were involving this character. However, there are perfect couples, not matter if they are still together or not, that you just don't have to mess up. Deanna Troi and William Riker are a perfect couple. Together or not, they are just perfect for each other. And if you ever read "Imzadi" (the FIRST novel) you won't have any doubt of that anymore in your life. However, when they decided to publish the sequel, they want to use the change in the series where now Worf and Deanna were in the process to be an item, yuck! No, no, no. If you really want to make an interesting triangle, they should use the angle of "Thomas Riker", the transporter-accident clone, and he even is in the novel, but the way that he is used, it was just a waste of the character. I seldom rated a book with just 1 star, but here, I just needed to do that since in the same way that I totally love the first book that I rated with full 5 stars, well sadly (and even more painful since it was written by the same author) I totally hate this sequel so my only honest choice to myself was to rated with just 1 star. In conclussion, I don't any see any good reason to read this book, so if you read the first book and you love it as much as I am, please, don't read this sequel, and if you anyway do it (since this is a free world), well don't say that I didn't warn you.
