Product Description
Product Description
While on a mission to save the planet Lessenar from environmental collapse, the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise becomes entangled in a web of treachery and murder.
When a member of a strange, emotion-casting race is killed on board the ship, all evidence points to Lieutenant Worf and one of his oldest friends.
Soon the crew of the Starship Enterprise is crippled by an emotional onslaught as the surviving aliens respond in anger and pain to the death of their comrade.
Worf must overcome this alien influence and find the true killer with the destruction of the Starship Enterprise, the survival of Lessenar, and his Klingon honor hanging in the balance.

Could have been better
5 Sep 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
There were some really intriguing ideas in "Sins of Commission" - some very alien aliens, a series of crimes to solve, personal conflicts that need resolution.
Unfortunately, Wright's writing skills do not match up to her imagination. The characterisation did not match that in the TV series particularly well, and the writing was frequently clunky. Some matters, such as Tarses' problems and his solution, were explained less clearly than they should have been.
"Sins of Commission" could have been better. Let's hope that Wright keeps at it, so that her skills come to match her creativity.

ST: TNG, Sins of Commission
29 July 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Star Trek: The Next Generation, Sins of Commission by Susan Wright is an excellent tale told well, with Worf, Troi, Riker as the main three characters.
Wright has worked in an excellent character development with weaving a tale of murder, intrigue, and mystery. The story is told and the Enterprise is the main background for this book. As the Enterprise orbits the planet Lessenar, the planet is threatened with an environmental collapse, but this is a secondary problem. The main thrust of the book falls on a murder, where the plot thickens and falls on Worf to solve.
The crew of the Enterprise fall under an onslaught of extreme emotions projected by a telepath race of beings known as the Sli shortly after they were beamed over. Now, as the crew becomes crippled, it falls on Data's shoulders to solve the crime. This is a good mystery, filled with treachery, murder, and alien influence. The crew are a little out of character, but since they are under attack on a cerebral level, it is understandable. Beverly Crusher and Geordi LaForge are extremely affected and are quite entertaining.
As the alien influence overcomes Worf, he has to find the true killer. All in all, this is a fascinating adventure worked with a flair for the characters and their development, woven with emotional intrigue, making this one of the best TNG adventures.
You will enjoy this story as Worf's Klingon honor rests in the balance.
Not a bad book.
16 Jun 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It was a tough call on whether to rate this book three stars or four; it's better than most of the books that I've rated three stars, but just not quite good enough for me to rate four stars. It gives us a reasonably interesting look at some of the personalities of the Enterprise crew, and there is some action and intrigue as well. It's reasonably well-written, too, but the plot itself just isn't really that memorable. The story would have made an interesting episode, but as a book, it's just a bit above middle-of-the-road.
