Synopsis

Remus -- mysterious sister world to Romulus. A planet where hope surrendered to darkness long ago. A planet whose inhabitants have been without a voice for generations. But that's about to change.
Earth -- home to Starfleet, where the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise™ NCC-1701-E, gathers at the crystal blue skies of an Alaskan day to celebrate the wedding of Will Riker and Deanna Troi. The joy of the day is overshadowed only by the knowledge that this is the last time they will all be together, as soo-to-be Captain Riker and his ship's counselor, Deanna Troi, will shortly be departing for their new ship.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the Enterprise crew are suddenly diverted for the unexpected diplomatic mission to the planet Romulus. Longtime enemies of the Federation, the Romulans have expressed their desire to initiate negotiations that will hopefully lead to a long-awaited unity in the galaxy. But upon their arrival on the Romulus, the Enterprise crew is faced with the threat that could lead to the destruction of the planet Earth, and Picard comes face to face with a man who may prove to be his most dangerous adversary yet...and a surprisingly personal nemesis.

Dillard does the best she can with this story, cutting a quick pace to cover a weak screenplay. Also, she's able to delve into the internal psychological issues of Picard and his clone more effectively than the film can, since she's able to give us their thoughts. The big problem, however, remains: t......more

Goodreads review by Lee on December 04, 2019

This is certainly better than the movie with exceptions. Not the actual story , I do note the removal of the Worf storyline was wrong. What harm was there to include it? But they didn't. Also the actual ending of the book with B4 in Data's room would have been a better ending than the rushed one the......more

I will first off state that I am not one of those people that hates Nemesis. I actually quite like it and I acknowledge that it's not perfect. I didn't care for the novelization though as it seemed to suck the life out of what was there on the screen and how many commanders are going to fall on top......more

Goodreads review by Steven on December 13, 2022

Might've given this 2 stars had it not been for the behind the scenes stuff. You really get a sense of how those working on Nemesis really believed in this film and its ideas. Screenwriter John Logan mentioned how he used to be Captain Kirk every Halloween, and I couldn't help but imagine him dressi......more

Goodreads review by RumBelle on May 26, 2017

What I really though was excellent about this novelization was the in-depth information. The film never really went into any detail about why Shinzon did what he did, what Remus was like, it's conflict with Romulus or what all the underlying antagonism was about. The book did in, a greatly detailed......more
