Summary: STNG #29 Sins of Commission - A great first novel!
Comment: This being author Susan Wrights first Star Trek novel, I found her writing to be quite refreshing in the genre. Her writing style is very fluidic and she always sets a great pace for the novel which doesn't waver too greatly at any time. From this very first novel of hers I've found that her plot development is "dead on" and that she is capable of setting up enough intrigue and mystery in her novels that they're quite often very engaging, making for quick reads.
The cover art for this title is pretty much the standard fare, except for a Ferengi Marauder being on the cover with the standard drawings of Riker and Worf.
The premise:
The Enterprise is on a mission to save the planet Lessenar from environmental collapse and suddenly her crew finds themselves entangled in a web of treachery and murder. When a member of a strange, emotion casting race is killed on board the ship, all evidence points to Worf and one of his oldest friends. The Enterprise is soon under an emotional onslaught from the surviving aliens who're projecting their anger and pain at the crew. Worf must now overcome this alien influence and find the true killer before the Enterprise, Lessenar and his honor are all lost.
This novel is most certainly one of the best early STNG novels and an outstanding debut for this author who has so many more great novels to follow this one. I highly recommend this novel to any and all fans of the genre. {ssintrepid}

Summary: Emotional Turmoil threatens the Enterprise
Comment: The Enterprise is sent to aid a planet who's enviromental problems are on the verge of wiping out the inhabitants through starvation and exposure to lethal polutants. The Enterprise starts up humanitarian aid, and soon discovers the situation is much worse than they were origionally led to belive.
Soon after begining thier mission, a tour ship, Captained by an old family friend of Worf's comes into the system as a part of thier sightseeing. On board are several creatures from an extreemly alien species who are emotion brodcasters. When an explosion cripples the tour ship and all hands must be evacuated to the Enterprise, one of the aliens dies, leaving four very emotionally brodcasting creatures who begin to adversly affect crew performance.
Now, those on the Enterprise have thier mission threatened amidst emotional turmiol which affects thier ability to function and complete thier mission. A decent story.
I do think more attention could have been paid to the struggle on the planet, and the charachters weren't portraied well(espically Worf and Dianna) even before the Sli arrived and started making everyone behave abnormally.

Summary: Could have been better
Comment: There were some really intriguing ideas in "Sins of Commission" - some very alien aliens, a series of crimes to solve, personal conflicts that need resolution.
Unfortunately, Wright's writing skills do not match up to her imagination. The characterisation did not match that in the TV series particularly well, and the writing was frequently clunky. Some matters, such as Tarses' problems and his solution, were explained less clearly than they should have been.
"Sins of Commission" could have been better. Let's hope that Wright keeps at it, so that her skills come to match her creativity.
