Helpful Score: 1
An outstanding TNG novel. Even more than in Metamorphosis, Jean Lorrah shows she can get inside the character of Data and make his journey of growth compelling. As for Tasha Yar...the next time I saw "Skin of Evil", I felt more affected than ever before, knowing the rest of the crew was truly robbed of a friend.
The plot is intricate and character-driven, and covers a lot of ground over Tasha's life and Starfleet career, with the difficulties of the Prime Directive always looming. Not by-the-numbers, not to be missed.
