Oh no, this was awful. Who are these characters? Every interaction or allusion to Miles / Keiko especially made me want to tear out my own hair. Miles was essentially a men's rights activist who couldn't fathom his wife having a shred of independent thought, and Keiko was consistently referenced by third parties as being 'just as bad' despite doing nothing wrong. Troi and Picard were simpering morons and each character had their own equally meaningless story to stumble through.

None of the action moves the story forward or has any relation to the actual problem at hand. The entire novel is filler unrelated to a very hasty, unsatisfying ending. I wouldn't normally leave a review, let alone a negative one on a Star Trek novel, but the inanity of the Miles / Keiko storyline and the sheer determination of the author to ignore these characters actual personality traits was so frustrating, I have to vent my spleen!
