This was particularly noticeable in the passages tied to Riker's viewpoint. The style of the book is slightly awkward though, with the narrative slipping into paragraphs of introspection from a number of characters' points of view, which tend to slow the story down and distract from what's really happening. It's a strong sci-fi tale that draws on the characters' emotions to present a really enjoyable and interesting read that, unlike many tie-in books, presents characters learning and changing based on their experiences. The story is not focussed on a specific character, but is spread fairly evenly between about five, with decent appearances by the rest of the regulars. For a book that was likely written before the pilot was even transmitted, she does well to capture the locations and the characters from the series. In the first regular novel based on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Diane Carey presents a story that successfully bridges the gap between the TV series' pilot episode and the remainder of season one by rounding off some of the changed premises.
