And it is such a good book. Televised Star Trek has often struggled to depict the real relationships between adults. Imzadi is very honest about adult relationships. In many ways, I am pleased that I personally did not read this book until I was older, married, and with some relationship experience under my own belt, so that I could properly appreciate how genuine many of the interplays between a young Riker and Troi seem.
And ultimately, like so many relationships, it turns out that despite their deep and abiding feelings for each other, the circumstances of youth pull them apart. Riker does not seem fully able to subsume the ambition he feels for his career, and Troi is struggling to get out of the perceived responsibilities and path laid down for her by being the child of a prominent Betazoid house.
Mix in some dumb mistakes of the kind only the very young make, that engender regrets that never quite goes away, and you have a potent combination. With the help of the Guardian of Forever, and in pursuit by Commodore Data of the USS Enterprise -F — who has been tasked with preventing Riker from changing history — Admiral Riker heads back in time to try and stop the death of Deanna Troi that set his timeline in motion.

History Talk 9. Will and Deanna meet on her home planet of Betazed and have a tempestuous affair that threatens to consume them both.
Eventually, of course, those passions cool and they are able to serve together on the Enterprise as good friends even though memories of that passionate time still linger in their minds. But secretly Will is upset that he let her get away. I think that people have a particular idea of what a soulmate is.
A soulmate is supposed to be your perfect other half, the one who completes you. A soulmate is supposed to know you better than you know yourself and Will certainly has that with Deanna. With her empathic abilities, she can get inside his head the way nobody else can and that brings them closer than an ordinary couple might be. Whenever there is a problem, whether they were together or not, I think that Will relied on Deanna to help him keep his head on straight and on the right path.
