Star Trek: The Next Generation: Imbalance by VE Mitchell


Star Trek: The Next Generation: Imbalance
VE Mitchell
1992, Pocket Books, New York

280p.

The Enterprise is sent on a diplomatic mission to review the possible entry of the Jarada people into the Federation of Planets. While on an away mission, Riker, Crusher, Worf and Keiko become separated and trapped without contact with the ship.

This was a solid little entry into the Star Trek universe. It followed all the conventions and introduced some interesting xenobiology concepts. I really liked the way the author gave each of the aliens an individual personality, which a lot of Trek fiction fails to do even remotely.
