Descent by Diane Carey

tigercrossin's review against another edition

3.0

Descent part 1 and 2 are probably my favourite TNG episodes, I know, controversial lol. I’ve been hunting for a copy of this book for a while so I was happy to finally find it. This is about as good as a novelization can be, but with bonus points because I love these episodes so much. I love all of the added detail and dialogue obviously, that pretty much the only reason why I wanted to check it out. It’s a bit long honestly, but still enjoyable.

Book Review 15 - Star Trek The Next Generation Descent by Diane Carey

I am a massive fan of Star Trek The Next Generation.

I can still remember sitting in our lounge watching the 1st season of The Next Generation on our small TV with my mum sat next to me in 1987.

This is a novelization of one of my favourite episodes as it involves TNG's ultimate baddie, The Borg.

If you haven't seen this episode, it is linked to an earlier episode of TNG and is also now linked to episodes of Star Trek Picard.

This book has slight differences to the episode as it seems all of the episode novelizations do, but rather than not making sense, these small additions actually make the story even more enjoyable.

Didn't really add much to the episode. Also described Picard's head as "nude" which I never needed to hear, ever, and will never be able to forget.
