INVOLUTION 4 features
"Memory to
Mend," by Anne Davenport, is set after BOBW II and Family. Captain
Picard's having a pretty hard time of it as he tries to put himself back together after
his rescue from the Borg, and Counselor Troi and Doctor Crusher are right there to ease
his efforts.
"The Last
Nightmare," written by Darla Redifer, gives us a closer "look at Jean-Luc's and Robert's relationship. While Jean-Luc is still trying to
free himself from the Borg, he finds that he must grapple with this stranger he calls a
brother.
Mindi French's
"Memory Loss" gives us a taste of what might have happened in Conundrum if
Picard and Crusher had been "closer."
"Revelations,"
by Priscilla Ball, a Picard/Crusher adventure that finds the doctor and an injured captain
kidnapped by scavengers after a shuttle crash. After they escape their captors, they share
a little more than an adventure together.
"Maya's
Touch," by Kimberly Blaisdell, wherein Picard and various members of the crew are
given a clearer insight into their dreams after experiencing ... Maya's touch. The results
are, depending upon those involved, touching, surprising, enlightening, amusing,
"One of Our
Own," Mindi French's second story, is set during "The First Duty." Jean-Luc
Picard tries to comfort Beverly Crusher...and he succeeds.
"Father of
the Man," by Jordan Trevor, has the thirteen-year-old Jean-Luc Picard from
"Rascals" trying to cope with a little too much "help" from his
friends, especially one Beverly Crusher. And the grown-up Jean-Luc Picard is left with a
question only she can answer.
"I Wish For
You," by Jo-Ann Lassiter, is a very short look at our captain right after receiving
the flute at the end of "Inner Light."
"Twenty-Five
Minutes," also an "Inner Light" piece, by D.J. Nicholson, in which
Jean-Luc is struggling between two worlds. And trying to decide in which one he belongs.
"Timeless
Reunion," by Deb Galeone, a short, sweet, Picard/Crusher piece. Jean-Luc learned a
lot from his mindmeld with Sarek-and he decides that Beverly is the one with whom he needs
to share what he discovered.
