Imzadi

The Star Trek: The Next Generation novel entitled Imzadi by Peter David was published in 1992. I started reading this novel on Tuesday September 30, 2014 and finished it on October 21, 2014. It had 342 pages divided in to 43 chapters.

Orion females like Ferengi females were nude but the ones that were on the starbases were clothed. Data was a comandore. Mac entertained the people on the Starbase with her ability to speak because Orion woman usaully couldn't speak more than 5 words. The planet where the Guardian was, was called Forever World. Data was captain of the Enterprise.

Riker was in command of Starbase 37. Riker was told that Troi was dying and he was going to see her on Wesley Crushers ship, The Hood. The straightening of their uniorm was known as the Picard Manuever. Wesley was married twice and had 9 children.

Lwaxani died. The Enterprise was transporting Byfrexian, Luss, and Cordian ambassadors. Riker caught Troi in bed with an ambassador. He also found Troi shaken on the floor, because she telepathically called to him and he took her to sickbay, then on Betazed Lwaxannia screamed for two solid hours. She was never the same after the ordeal.

Beverly couldn't find any cause for Troi's passing. She blamed herself as Riker blamed himself. Sandarians were attacking Betazed. He was attending a Betazoid wedding. Riker was surprised when everyone started stripping at the wedding.

He fell in love with Deanna at the wedding, who was a bridesmaid and she cought the bouquet. He made a date with Deanna. They went to a museum. He said everything was weird and didn't like it.

Deanna said everythings weird in space, but you have to accept it even without your instruments. They climbed tree. She gave him lessons.
He tried to focus, but focused to much on her and fell.

Then he cought Deanna when she fell, she blamed it on a twig. Riker thought it wasn't. Some Sideron ship was coming heavily armed.

Deanna was attacked by a Sindareen. She and Chandra were trapped. Chranda was hurt. Deanna was doing her best to help. Marror was going to torture Deanna, until she got into a deep meditative stance. Deanna kicked Marror into the water as he was getting a drink and some water snakes got hold of him

Riker saved her. Lwaxana tried to separate them by saying how Riker couldn't be happy, because of his lack adventures in space. Riker was leaving Batazed without Troi. Riker just met Troi again on the Enterprise. Riker met his future self after he played with Deanna. Deanna died.

His future self stopped him from screaming. Riker was picked up by the Enterprise, because it was the closest ship. It was nothing like his.

Data knew where Deanna was still alive in an alternate timeline.They went to the alternate reality, and found Troi dead for 70 years. They found traces of a drug that wasn't around the year she die

"You cannot now suddenly flip open the books of history, erase what's been written,  and reinscribe it with a story more to your liking." He got on the ship Chance, and went to The Guardian of Forever. The Enterprise was with Chance obove the Guardians planet. Data beamed down. The old Riker appeared in Barcleys holodeck program and scared him half to death. He made Barcley erase the program with Troi in it and left.

The Admiral convinced his younger self to save Deanna. He ran to Dianna to give her the antidote. They put the Admiral in quarters which would only open from the outside.
