Title: Riker the clown arriving at circus Excalibur!
Review: I find this book poor and does not seem to belong to the series. Riker seems to be out of character, meets the crew of USS Excalibur, Capt Calhoun's ship and gets into humorous situations and he says 'I just got to get off this ship!' upon meeting Exalibur's command staff. Riker is there only for comic relief. There seems to be a lot of discussion of this sex-bomb. Too much seems to dwell on issues that does not concern plague. It took a long time before I realise the architect of the plague was being referred to and this story is where the villain gets defeated. A real let-down for an ending after the build-up in the earlier stories.Note that Riker is my favourite character in STTNG series and I like Capt Calhoun too. Peter David is also one of my favourite Star Trek author.This story is such a let down.
