A team from the Enterprise – Riker, La Forge, and Daniels – is sent to deal with the latest threat from the Maquis. For La Forge and Daniels, it's just another mission, but Riker must face the specter of his transporter twin, Tom Riker, who left Starfleet to join the Maquis.

Review of 'A Weary Life: Slings and Arrows Book V' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

For some reason, the writing occasionally made me think this novel was penned by a teen who played a lot of trek computer games. Some of the English seemed questionable at best, and yet the depth with which the emotions were captured, Riker in particular, speaks a much more adult language and one I found hard to ignore.

I therefore really liked this novel; a welcome aside from the dominating dominion. Also, I did notice the publisher putting "novels" and "e-Books" on differing levels, which is also fascinating, historically speaking.
