Collateral Damage by David Mack
4.0
Good story. I expected more on the Picard front, but that was really only a small portion of the book. The rest was devoted to the Enterprise's efforts to save a planet and Starfleet Intelligence trying to keep Worf and the crew out of their business while a group of Nausicaans rampaged through the galaxy. Some great, funny moments. I enjoyed Riker's scenes as well as Worf's solution to the Nausicaan situation. His substitute second in command while LaForge was off ship was also terrific.
There's a LOT going on here and the point of view changes often. I wish this had been formatted to better clue the reader into what was going on in each section. I didn't like having to read a few paragraphs to know which part of the story we had moved to. This was especially problematic in the first person sections. This has been done SO well in other novels; someone missed the boat here by not making that more clear.
