INVOLUTION 5 features
"Fun with
Will and Jean," by Betty Dam and Brenda Shaffer, takes us along on shore leave with
our top two Enterprise men, each agreeing to one day of activities of the other's choosing
and their resolution to enjoy themselves--even if it kills them.
"Sleep,
Perchance to Dream," by Judith Allison, is Riker's first person account of his vigil
at Picard's bedside immediately following Picard's release from the Borg.
"Ahzdar,"
written and illustrated by Janet D'Airo, follows our captain to the planet
"Ahzdar," on what is supposed to be a week-long convention of endless lectures
and boring speeches. Picard should be so lucky. Although he does meet up with an old
flame, his reunion is short-lived as he finds himself drugged, tortured, and kidnapped.
"Driving
with Dad," written by Judith Allison. Ever had a driving lesson with your dad? What
if you were twelve years old and your father was Captain Jean-Luc Picard--teaching you to
pilot a shuttlecraft?
"Spru
Season," by Elizabeth KnaueI, depicts Picard's attempts at avoiding a dreaded meeting
with a visiting admiral, much to the crew's amusement--and dismay.
"Facades
and Other Mysteries," Judith Allison's third story, is a humorous look at Jean-Luc
Picard's decision to spend Valentine's Day with the lady of his choice, Beverly Crusher.
"Truths and
Consequences," by Becky Woods, begins with the captain's return from the hands of the
Cardassians and covers the weeks following, as Picard accepts Beverly Crusher's offer of
companionship--and more.
In Mindi
French's "Resolution," we find the good captain again seeking his favorite
doctor's help and friendship after he parts with the metamorph, Kamala. The doctor, as
always, is up to the challenge.
"The
Personality of Command," by Melissa Davis, explores the irmer psyche of Captain
Jean-Luc Picard during a typical day on the Enterprise. A fascinating look into
the mind of a complex man.
"Beyond
Suspicions," by D.J. Nicholson, shows us what might have occurred after the episode,
"Suspicions." After Beverly Crusher's return to the Enterprise,
she must face Jean-Luc Picard--and Jean-Luc Picard must face a board of inquiry for
Crusher's unauthorized autopsy of the Ferengi scientist.
