Publisher Description
Imzadi: to the people of the planet Betazed, including Counselor Deanna Troi of the Starship Enterprise™, it means "beloved" and denotes a special closeness that can never be truly broken. Or can it?
In his acclaimed earlier novel, Imzadi, bestselling author Peter David explored the special bond between Deanna Troi and Commander William T. Riker. It revealed new facets of their long and intimate relationship and put that bond to its ultimate test in a powerful and unforgettable story that remains one of the most popular Star Trek® adventures ever published. Now David examines the heart of Deanna Troi from an altogether different perspective, as he reveals for the first time the full story of Troi's troubled romance with Lieutenant Commander Worf.
At first glance, they cannot be more different. She is an empath, gentle and acutely sensitive to the needs and feelings of others. He is a fierce Klingon warrior, dedicated to a harsh and warlike code of honor. Brought together, however, by a common need to care for Alexander, Worf's troubled, motherless son, they discover hidden reserves of courage and compassion within each other and embark on an unexpected courtship, much to the surprise and discomfort of William Riker.
But does Worf's future truly lie with Deanna...or on a distant outpost called Deep Space 9™? And whom indeed shall Troi ultimately call "imzadi"? Imzadi II is a compelling story, an untold chapter in the history of the Starship Enterprise™.

"Imzadi II: Triangle was not as good as Imzadi but I liked them both. The author is definitely a fan of STAR TREK. This is the first STAR TREK book I've read. I liked it so much I'll now read ENTERPRISE that my brother suggested a while ago. "

Quotes
-
“David is a genuine and veteran master of the demanding art of the tie-in novel, and provides smart handling of Star Trek elements and a brisk story, enhanced by well-done action scenes and the ability to give the Star Trek universe a lived-in feel. Add to this insight into the characters, David’s usual wit and a graceful handling of sexuality, and readers will end the book with great satisfaction if they are serious Trekkers and recognition of a notable talent at work if they are not.”

“Reader Robert O'Reilly does an outstanding job differentiating characters, and sound effects enhance the storyline.”

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Triangle: Imzadi II Listener Reviews
-
" Not as good as the first one, but still worth a read for fans of Peter David and/or the original Imzadi novel. "
— Paxton, 1/12/2014 -
" A quite decent book with some exceptional scenes in it. Ties up many threads of story quite nicely. "
— Mikael, 12/14/2013 -
" Really should have just stuck with the original Imzadi book, which was amazing. This one, though it isn't horrible because it's by Peter David, and he is a very good writer, the plot and just everything about it just screamed. 'Sad lookin' sequel'. "
— Danie, 12/13/2013 -
" Better than Imzadi I in my opinion. This almost seems to be written by a different writer. It goes into more depth and character insight. It also has a lot more humor. I think people don't like it as much as Imzadi I because of the humorous, but unsatisfactory conclusion. "
— Patrick, 11/12/2013 -
" A valiant effort to explain the corner the writers had painted themselves into and much appreciated by the true fans. Still, it never quite makes sense as to why Worf leaves Deanna, even if it's canon that she belongs with Riker. "
— Sarah, 11/9/2013 -
" another fabulous Peter David book! "
— John, 9/6/2013 -
" Not sure this sequel even needed to be written. "
— Callista, 6/4/2013 -
" This continuation from the first Imzadi installment returns us to the relationship of Troi, but her decisions to choose between what's happening right now and the history she has with Riker. A great read. "
— Dawn, 5/15/2013 -
" LOL, Worf/Deanna. So weird. "
— Meg, 4/12/2013 -
" Not as good as the original but definitely worth the time. It is good to read more about Worf and Dax. "
— Dawn, 9/30/2012 -
" 3.5/5 I liked this better than the prequel. A little more action though cheesy in a few plot elements. I rather enjoyed the explanations given for unanswered plot elements in the show. "
— April, 8/28/2012 -
" Fun book, if you're a Star Trek nerd. I had a few misgivings, the biggest being that Worf was way over-written. He spoke multiple paragraphs at a time, and that's just not realistic, even if he IS in love with Troi. "
— Emily, 8/23/2012 -
" An okay read. It took me a lot longer to read this one compared to the first book. I just couldn't get into Worf very much. I am sorry but he is not one of my favorite characters. "
— Christy, 2/26/2012 -
" This one kind of sucked. The characterization of Worf wasn't handled well--made him seem more caveman than Klingon. He felt way out of character, especially after rewatching a bunch of later season Next Gen and DS9. Also? Lame ending. "
— Sarah, 2/11/2012 -
" Since Imzadi was my favorite Star Trek novel ever, I really wanted this one to live up to it, but was instead disappionted. "
— Christopher, 12/1/2011 -
" Still a good book in its own right. It's just not a sequel, and the author seemed badly hampered by continuity limits placed by the owners of Star Trek. The author clearly tries to get around this though. "
— Susan, 9/14/2011 -
" I think this story is better than the first one. The end is witty. Rate it by 3.5 star would be more accurate. "
— Miki, 7/29/2011 -
" Forget it - stick with the original. "
— Amanda, 8/25/2010 -
" A definite must-read after the first Imzadi book! "
— Connie, 3/16/2010 -
" A nice TNG book that keeps more or less in line with Cannon. nice to see. "
— Barbara, 3/3/2010 -
" A romance book for the ages!! I have yet to find anything by this author (in the Star Trek realm) that I do not like. "
— Kim, 2/22/2010 -
" This is basically a story of Troi and her two main relationships. Imzadi is between her and Will. Imzadi II between her and Worf. Both were good stories. I really enjoyed Imzadi, I like Imzadi II. Something about the way Imzadi II was written was just too much, but the story was good. "
