Twenty-five years ago, Captain Jean-Luc Picard conducted breakthrough negotiations with an aggressive race called the Gorn. On the anniversary of that achievement, Captain Picard and the "U.S.S. Enterprise" TM are headed for the Gorn Homeworld to continue that important work. When the ship stops to investigate a mysterious alien artifact, Captain Picard is suddenly hurled through time and space. Just as Commander Riker and the "Starship Enterprise" crew begin an impossible search for their captain, the Gorn summit goes terribly wrong.
As war looms over the galaxy and Picard is desperately needed on the Gorn Homeworld, the captain finds himself stranded in the past on a planet called Cestus III at a crucial turning point in Federation history. Caught in a deadly situation that challenges Picard's most cherished beliefs, he must weigh the fate of a world against the future of the entire Federation.

A solid entry in the TNG numbered novels series. It was fascinating to get a look at the Cestus III colony before the Gorn attack and learn a bit about the people who lived and worked there. Their story is tragic, but the role they play in Star Trek history is an important one. I would have liked to have learned more about the Gorn, but alas that was not to be. The story set in the "present" of the 24th century was a nice B-plot involving the Enterprise crew attempting to locate and rescue Picard, with some great character moments for Reg Barclay.

Oh boy.
Hopefully the next transporter beam will be the transporter beam home.
I enjoyed this one. I didn’t read the summary so I was surprised where the story went. I thought it was all about Picard fast talking the Gorn. Which I would have loved too. But nope.
This one reminded me of Friedman’s Star Trek novel about McCoy (note to future me: insert title here).

Pretty good two plot book. I do agree that the plot in the past was the better of the two, although the plot on the Enterprise was pretty good too. If you like the TV show, this is a good book for you, otherwise, you may want to skip it, as it relies heavily on the reader having knowledge from the show at some points.

What Daniel Kukwa said: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show.... I also agree with another reviewer that we didn't get to know the Gorn better enough.

A game of two halves, which makes this an almost perfect reproduction of a TNG episode. The A-plot of Picard-in-the-past is wonderful: full of authentic emotion, well-developed characters, and a solid sense of tragedy. The present day B-plot is a technobabble search & rescue mission that isn't anywhere near as compelling, with a crew that feels a little stiff & awkward, in terms of capturing their characters. The end result splits the difference: a solid 3 star rating.

Encountering a mysterious derelict space station, the crew of the Enterprise investigate, putting off their mission to go to the Gorn homeworld where Picard is to open formal meetings for the Federation. Something occurs aboard the station and Picard is sent back in time to Cestus III, days before the colony's razing by the Gorn as documented in the classic Original Series episode "Arena." Can Picard make it back to his own time to avoid the colonists' fate or will he break the Prime Directive to have the them avoid their fates?
This book began marvelously with Picard captaining the Stargazer and having a meeting with the Gorn that is unlike any I've encountered before. In the present, it was neat to hear about Kirk's battle with the Gorn as the stuff of legend and as something that most Starfleet cadets have to deal with, putting it on a level with another famous Starfleet test. I was okay with the space station used as a means to get Picard shot back in time, though the reader knows he'll make it back in the end.
Knowing Picard is ultimately safe, it falls upon the writers, with Kevin Ryan sharing credit with Friedman, to make the colonists fully realized characters so that when their impending loss occurs, according to history, the reader fells it as much as Picard. They succeed. Without spoilers, there are several individuals in this location for the reader to feel for and begin to worry about when faced by their impending doom. The climax is a rough one to endure: it's one thing to have Kirk and Spock discover a colony wiped out, it's another to witness it in this book. This is the first time in years that disruptors have really packed a punch in a Trek outing.
For fans of the Original Series, there's some familiar moments in the end that are fleshed out by one character's actions and thoughts.
It's hard for me to dislike any story involving the Gorn, one of my favorite Trek aliens, and both Friedman and Ryan have continued to make them formidable characters.

Despite a seemingly strong and entertaining premise of TNG characters interacting around the events of an all-time classic TOS episode, this book never really takes advantage of any built-in or created story hooks, leaves too much unanswered (this is serialized Trek, I only need a line or two to explain/dismiss a concept) and several characters, most unfortunately Captain Picard, seem wildly out of character. An absolute letdown.

An interesting idea, if you went back in time, only a few days before a tragedy would you stop it? The Gorn are also in this book and it does tie in a bit with the original Star Trek series. A decent Picard story.

A good premise and fluid storytelling carry this novel far, but there is so much unutilized potential in this...

Welcome back the Gorn! You Trekkies should remember them. Greenish lizard like creatures, one which Kirk battled one on one on Cestus III?
Well, enter the diplomat, Jean-Luc Picard. The story starts out with a younger Picard on the Stargazer. They encounter the Gorn, and Picard transports over to their ship and eventually to their homeworld. With very little known about the Gorn, except for accounts from Kirk's encounter, Picard somehow figures them out.
This sets up the current time, where the Gorn want to establish diplomatic relations with the Federation. Picard is the only one who is fit for this of course. While traveling there, the Enterprise comes upon a huge space station. While investigating it, power surges take place, and some of the crew manage to get transported back to the Enterprise, but Picard. Then, he is caught in a blinding beam, and wakes up 100 years or so in the past in an infirmary. Guess where? Cestus III, although the captain is not aware of this yet.
Eventually, he learns where he is, and in the meantime, is considered suspicious by all the colonists there, except the doctor, who he becomes attracted to. Going by the name of Dixon Hill, he finds out what Stardate it is, and knows it will not be long, before the Gorn invade and destoy this colony. He plans his escape, but before he even has a chance to move out, they find out he is not who he says he is.
Picard then reveals some information to the doctor about who he really is, since she is the only one who trusts him. Picard manages to save the colony from a reactor core overheating, but has to use force to do it, as everyone things he is sabotoging it. After doing this, he runs away into the canyons, trying to find his communicator, in the only hope of being found 100 years in the future. The Enterprise 1701-D, get the help from Bajoran pirates. As Picard is being pursued by the colonists, the Gorn invade. Being torn between obeying the Prime Directive, or helping the colonists, and the doctor who he cares about, he decides to help them, hoping it will not affect the future timeline. While helping them, he is beamed away back to the future, or his time. Toward the end of the book, Kirk, Spock and Bones appear.
All in all a great book. Was mislead a little, thinking Picard would be facing one on one with a Gorn like Kirk did.

When I first seen the cover of Requiem, Picard pictured with a Gorn, I had a dual reaction, one of skepticism and one curiosity. The skepticism was quickly washed aside and the curiosity paid off. This is a damn fine book!
Michael Jan Friedman and his colleague, editor Kevin Ryan, take us in familiar territory while offering something new and fresh!
The Prologue starts us off in familiar Friedman territory, Picard's Stargazer years. Here we learn of how Picard started open negotiations with the Gorn. Fans of Friedman's Reunion and other Stargazer books will notice some familiar faces!
Fast forward 25 years and we have Picard and the crew of the Enterprise returning to Gorn space to attend an important summit. En Route they encounter an ancient alien space station (this book had me at "mysterious alien artifact "). While investigating the station Picard gets swept off to another time and place. A place called Cestus III, a few days before the events in the Original Star Trek episode "Arena". As a reader you get to be a type of nostalgic fly on the wall, seeing historic Trek events unfold before Picard's eyes.
What's great about this book, really great, is the fact that while it may have hints of Trek nostalgia it really becomes Picard's own personal story. A story in which he finds himself in a very moral and ethical dilemma.
Toward the end of the book I was no longer thinking about when and where Picard was but rather what was happening; the raw emotion of how events affected the characters. I promise you you'll have all emotions firing on all cylinders!
Another aspect of this book I enjoyed was the use of secondary characters Ensign Ro and Lieutenant Barclay! Each of these characters are given their own respective obstacles to overcome, especially Barclay. There's nothing more dramatic than witnessing a beloved character struggling to overcome a fear.
Theres also an amazing set piece involving a dinner/interrogation which is suspenseful and smartly written.
Michael Jan Friedman always delivers what I call "a mixed fruit bowl" meaning alitte bit of everything; Requiem is no exception. Him and Kevin deliver the goods and then some!

TNG #32: Requeim by Micheal Jan Friedman and Kevin Ryan
A quick, little read which was nice. I very much enjoy reading Star Trek books, but after awhile reading books that are 400-500 pages each week gets tiring, so it’s nice to change it up a bit. And this was a nice little palette cleanser for me.
Picard, as captain of the Stargazer had breakthrough success with the Gorn in 2345, in establishing communication with them. In 2370, the Federation and the Gorn are having a summit about establishing diplomatic relations with Picard front and centre. However when investigating a mysterious alien space station, Picard is thrown back in time to a critical time in Federation history; a few days before the massacre on Cestus III and the events of Arena!
This was a fun little quick read and I love a crossover between two series. One minor complaint I had about TNG is that it didn’t follow up on various threads left hanging over from TOS. What happened to the Kelvans? Where is the First Federation at the time of TNG? That’s what I love about Trek books is that they fill various gaps and answer questions for me left over by the shows. This book is sort of a crossover between TNG and TOS, as Picard is sent back in time to the colony on Cestus III before the events of Arena. In the meantime, Riker and crew have to look for traces of Picard in the present.
This book overall was decent, but a little lacking. While it was nice to give the colonists on Cestus III some depth and character development so it only makes their pre destined deaths sadder, it felt surface level. It didn’t go as deep as I wanted. But overall, it made them actual characters instead of being names tossed in a throwaway line. In the present, there was decent moments for supporting characters like Ro and Barclay. Seeing Riker as acting captain was decent. But this book suffers from the typical Micheal Jan Friedman pitfalls which is the book feels a little lacklustre as character development is always very surface level. Bud besides that, it was a nice quick little read.
7.5/10

Um at least it was a quick read.
Okay I was excited for this one, Picard meets the Gorn! War on the horizon! Maybe we'll get to know more about Gorn culture!? Not really. Going into this I knew there would be an element of time travel involved and that's fine, but I still wanted to know more about the Gorn, ANYTHING about the Gorn! Here is a chance to flesh them out. Instead Picard is sent back in time to Cestus 3 and witnesses first hand the massacre that Kirk and Spock arrive to in it's aftermath in Arena. We learn nothing about the race at all, but we get a fleshing out of a massacre that really didn't need it.
Also Picard uses a fake name to hide his true identity in the past. A good idea, but using the name Dixon Hill isn't that smart. That no one on the colony looked up the name and came up with the novels of a fictional character is pretty dumb.
The other parts of the novel consist on Geordi, Barclay and Data one an alien station trying to get the Captain back as Riker flies around trying to locate where Picard got lost to. That's the whole book. No surprises, nothing outside the box and it ends right where I wanted the book to either start or get to at the middle and thats Picard having peace talks on the Gorn homeworld.
A missed opportunity and overall a dull story, made even worse by long chapters. I hate long chapters as for me it really slows a book down.

I loved ST:TNG novels as a teen, and read them faithfully as they were published. But, when I left for college in 1994, I no longer had time (or money) for them. A few years ago, I picked up some of the post-August 1994 mass market paperbacks to do a little catching up, and this was one of them.
The good: The time-travel adventure that led to Picard arriving just before the Gorn attacked a colony that led to the encounter with Kirk certainly set him up for having to walk a delicate balance between his personal ethics and an imperative to not interfere with the timeline. I felt that this part was mostly well-written and true to the character.
The bad: I get that these are leaders of a crew tasked with exploring strange, new things, but like, could you not do a little more research on the safety of new tech before throwing the captain at it? Additionally, I am not a male human, so maybe they are wired differently, but if I were thrown back in time to a strange (yet familiar) place, I don't think I would immediately develop a morally complicated crush on the one attractive person there. That's just a sloppy plot device.
I think my taste in storytelling has changed quite a bit since I was a teen obsessed with all things Star Trek. I have a copy of the next book, and after reading the description, my immediate reaction was, "nope." So, I think this is the last of these I'll be reading for some time.

Not that I had low expectations of this one but this one did surprise me with the story and how the events unfolded. I enjoyed the character developments of Barclay, Riker and Picard as they had to learn to get past who they are to make a difference in their respective situations. The feeling of doom of the massacre of Cestus III was palpable as Picard was struggling with his time displacement and how we was going to make the right kind of difference in the situation - especially when he gets to know the people that are to be slaughtered. I also enjoyed seeing the Gorn return and see Picard's impact on their history.
July 2, 2019
I really enjoyed Ro and Barclay getting to play a bigger role and prove themselves (Ro gets a much better opportunity to do this in the DS9 Relaunch novels), and it's always great to see the Stargazer crew (Friedman created a wonderful group of characters for that era of Picard's life) but Picard's main plot felt rather out of character for him. I have a very hard time seeing him essentially choosing love and "honor" over duty - particularly in light of his relationships with Kamala and Nella Darren. Ultimately, pretty disappointing.
May 13, 2022
I don't normally like reading novelizations of movies, but since this was a spin-off of the series, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. Kirk's world meets Picard's was cool, and I loved getting Picard's view on the whole thing. My only complaint was that I felt like it ended really fast. I would have liked to see some more of what happened as a result of his time at the council.
Overall, an enjoyable read.
*My copy of this book was edited by my sister to exclude a fair bit of bad language, my review is based on that version.

Picard is accidentally transported back to the past right before a catastrophic event. In order not to change the upcoming events, he tries to let history take its course. Easier said than done, especially when he falls in love with a woman who's supposed to die.
Nice story but at times badly written. Picard's moral dilemma is the best part but is resolved poorly. As with most scifi stories about timetravel there are plotholes and inconsistencies and merely addressing them doesn't really make them go away. This would've worked better as an actual episode of TNG.

Written during season 7, this TNG novel is very entertaining and feels like a good episode of TNG. What I liked about the story was it's tieback to the Gorn and TOS episode. The focus is on Jean-Luc Picard, and there are nice inclusions with Barclay, Geordi, Riker and Ensign Ro. Overall, a solid story that can add to the canon of the Gorn race.
March 10, 2020
I really enjoyed this story. If felt a lot like an episode of NextGen. There was the expected language and some violence that was a bit more then one would expect
However, it was a fun read.

Picard is flung back in time and until he is rescued he has a life of adventure in this past. Been done before in Star Trek, in fact, a common trope. I suppose 'dress up' in the past is cheaper than special effects? Maybe not. Good ideas, plotting and values. Enjoyable.
October 9, 2020
I thought it served as a great what if type of book. A great follow up to the Star Trek episode “Arena”, where you get to experience a lot of what happened prior and during the episode that you didn’t get to see on screen.
May 21, 2021
Enjoyable adventure for the crew of the Enterprise, which sees Picard thrown back in time. As Data, Geordi and Barclay try to decipher the strange station capable of temporal transportation, the Captain does his best to avoid changing a pivotal part of the Federation’s history.

A lot of action and shooting.

I am partial to any TNG which features Captain Picard... however, there is hardly any interaction with the gorns although the synopsis led me to believe it.
