When Lelys, ambassador of the plague-ridden colony planet of Orakisa, approaches the Federation seeking help for her dying world, the U.S.S. Enterprise speeds to the rescue. Captain Picard and his crew escort the Orakisan delegation to its long-lost sister-world, Ne'elat, where the ambassador and the Away Team are initially welcomed, but then endangered. As the Enterprise officers make their way through a web of planet-wide intrigue, time is running out the people of Orakisa and the inhabitants of their sister-worlds as well.

One of the Worst.
15 April 2000
By Alaria
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read nearly all of the TNG books, and I have to say: this is without doubt one of the worst.
There were some good things about the book (not many but some), one of which was the descriptions of Ne'elat, which I found to be quite vivid, and the other is the front cover, which has a nice use of gold lettering and colour, although I'm not sure this should be considered when buying the book. Other than that though ...
As far as bad points go, there is practically no insight into the characters of the crew or the aliens. I will go as far to admit that I admired the author's style of writing, and it would have been a good book if it hadn't been so MIND-NUMBINGLY BORING!
I could tell from the start that this was not going to be one of TNG's best offerings, and unfortunately I was proved right. There was no plot to speak of, way too much speaking, and as I said before, no character information.
In my opinion: don't waste your money. Buy 'Imzadi' or 'Q in Law'.

ST-TNG: To Storm Heaven
29 Jun 2003
By Joe Zika
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Star Trek - The Next Generation: TO Storm Heaven written by Esther Friesner is really a well-written book contrary to what has been said here in these reviews. If your looking for action-adventure there isn't much in this story as the main character is Geordi LaForge in this book.
If you're looking for a story with imagination and a good storyline this is the book for you... no blood and guts. As this is well trodden path, a planet with a plague, the way the author puts a few twists and turns along the way into the story to keep you interested. There are Prime Directive issues in this book and there is a union of Skerrian daughterworlds along with planet-wide intrigue.
All in all, I found this book to be a good fast read and it was a refreshing that we didn't have to read about space battles, but battles of a different kind as the search for the cure for a plague is found underfoot. If you want to read an intriguingly different type of story this book will be for you. I gave this book a solid 4 stars just for that reason. As interesting as the tapestry of TREK is, this book adds to the TREK universe in a positive way.

Don't Bother
17 Dec 1999
By David Zimmer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read 75% of the Next Gen. books, and this is, by far, the worst of the lot.The plot, (if you can call it that), is extremely boring.The action is non-existant. I had difficulty forcing myself to finish the book. Don't bother, it's a waste of time.
