Sometimes dangerous, sometimes merely obnoxious, Q has always been mysterious and seemingly all-powerful. <p> But this time, when Q appears, he comes to Picard for help.

    <body><![CDATA[Q (aka John de Lancie) has always been one of my favorite Star Trek characters. There's something about his smartalecky, sarcastic arrogance that appeals. Peter David, who's proven himself one of the best Star Trek novelists around, does a fine job replicating Q's personality on paper. <br/><br/>N...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41821729">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<p> In all of his travels Captain Jean-Luc Picard has never faced an opponent more powerful that Q, a being from another continuum that Picard encountered on his very first mission as Captain of the <em>Starship Enterprise&#153;.</em> In the years since, Q has returned again and again to harass Picard and his crew. Sometimes dangerous, sometimes merely obnoxious, Q has always been mysterious and seemingly all-powerful. <p> But this time, when Q appears, he comes to Picard for help. Apparently another member of the Q continuum has tapped into an awesome power source that makes this being more powerful than the combined might of the entire Q continuum. This renegade Q is named Trelane -- also known as the Squire of Gothos, who Captain Kirk and his crew first encountered over one hundred years ago. Q explains that, armed with this incredible power, Trelane has become unspeakably dangerous. <p> Now Picard must get involved in an awesome struggle between super beings. And this time the stakes are not just Picard's ship, or the galaxy, or even the universe -- this time the stakes are all of creation...</p></p></p>]]>

It must be difficult to write a story about such fully pre-developed characters, and make it satisfactory to the fans.  Peter David has done it.  It is also a gripping story, well worth the read.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[In diesem nunmehr 45. Band der Nächsten Generation der Enterprise trifft Captain Picard einen alten Kontrahenten wieder, nämlich Q. Dieses seiner eigenen, bescheidenen Ansicht nach allmächtige Geschöpf aus einem anderen Kontinuum hat Picard bereits auf früheren Reisen Schwierigkeiten bereitet, denn Q verfügt einerseits über unglaubliche Kräfte und ist andererseits von fast kindlicher Launigkeit. Sein Auftauchen war alles für die Enterprise, von einer echten Bedrohung bis hin zu einem lediglich lästigen Besuch.<br/>Wie verwunderlich für Picard, daß Q diesmal keine negativen Absichten hat, sondern ihn vielmehr um Hilfe ersucht. Denn Q muß dem jungen Trelane — ebenfalls eine Gestalt aus dem Q-Kontinuum — als Mentor dienen. Doch einem praktisch allmächtigen Wesen Verantwortungsbewußtsein beizubringen, ist sogar für Q ein nervenaufreibender Job. Und der schon ob seiner Unberechenbarkeit gefährliche Trelane entwickelt zudem Kräfte, die selbst seinen Lehrer überraschen und ihn zu einer Gefahr für alle Lebewesen im Universum machen. So muß es denn Picard trotz seiner Zweifel an Q zum Wohl aller mit Trelane aufnehmen.]]>

    <![CDATA[<p> In all of his travels Captain Jean-Luc Picard has never faced an opponent more powerful that Q, a being from another continuum that Picard encountered on his very first mission as Captain of the <em>Starship Enterprise&#153;.</em> In the years since, Q has returned again and again to harass Picard and his crew. Sometimes dangerous, sometimes merely obnoxious, Q has always been mysterious and seemingly all-powerful. <p> But this time, when Q appears, he comes to Picard for help. Apparently another member of the Q continuum has tapped into an awesome power source that makes this being more powerful than the combined might of the entire Q continuum. This renegade Q is named Trelane -- also known as the Squire of Gothos, who Captain Kirk and his crew first encountered over one hundred years ago. Q explains that, armed with this incredible power, Trelane has become unspeakably dangerous. <p> Now Picard must get involved in an awesome struggle between super beings. And this time the stakes are not just Picard's ship, or the galaxy, or even the universe -- this time the stakes are all of creation...</p></p></p>]]>
