Re: Recs for Star Trek TNG novels?

[(Anonymous)]

In my experience, most TNG books are not-super-brilliant -- not on the level of most episodes anyway -- but have some component/idea/subplot that is pure fanficy wish-fulfillment-y "I always wanted to see that in an episode but if they had actually done it it would have been dumb" and can expound on that in detail that would be impossible in an episode.

For example, an early one, "Ghost Ship" is pretty bad because I honestly can't remember how the plot got resolved and the prose is ridiculously adjective-filled and sorta purple and everyone (especially Riker) is OOC and it was obviously written pretty early in the show's run...but it has the Enterprise being "haunted" and related glorious creepy horror and emotional torque that would look silly/wouldn't work in live action but is awesome for a fanfic-y novel. Plus lots of Data!whump and Data-and-Geordi!friendship and Troi!character exploration that makes her a lot more interesting and Yar being badass and everyone feeling a lot more sappy towards each other than usual due to the novel format being able to describe their thoughts and elaborate on them at length...so it's just great for itch-scratching if you just want some of that sap or whump or whatever.

Now, a lot of novels are better than Ghost Ship, but the balance between what the overall plot is versus what you get out of it/what sucks you in is pretty similar.
