false 2194489 2 The <I>Starship Rhea</i> has discovered a cluster of carbon planets that seems to be the source of the quantum energies rippling through a section of space. A landing party finds unusual life-forms inhabiting one of the planets. One officer, Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen -- a half-Vulcan -- makes a tenuous connection with them. But before any progress can be made, the <I>Rhea</i> comes under attack from the <I>Einstein</i> -- a Starfleet vessel now controlled by the Borg. The landing party can only listen in horror as their comrades are assimilated. The Borg descend to the planet, and just as Chen accepts that she will be assimilated, the lieutenant is whisked two thousand light-years away.<P>A quantum slipstream -- instantaneous transportation -- is controlled by these beings in the cluster, and in the heart of the cluster there is now a Borg ship. Cut off from the rest of the Borg collective, the <I>Einstein</i> cannot be allowed to rejoin it. For the sake of humanity, the Borg cannot gain access to quantum slipstream technology.<P>Starfleet Command gives Captain Picard carte blanche: do whatever he must to help the beings in the cluster, and stop the <I>Einstein</i> no matter the cost. 2200226 book 29 7 2008 Greater than the Sum (Star Trek: The Next Generation) total:41|5:1|4:1|3:4|2:0|1:0| 41 152 59 6 3 0 false false Mon May 04 08:03:34 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 08:08:01 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Aug 25 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 08:14:48 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 08 08:22:49 -0700 2008

First off, the general action part of the plot wasn't too bad. That said, this book read like **terribly** written fan fiction. No joke. It was sort of embarrassing that this made it to print.

The character development of T'Ryssa Chen was moderatly good, and...more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jul 27 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 18:19:20 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 11:23:39 -0700 2008
I’m pretty sure I like this book, though sometimes I wonder if maybe I’m just confused by the character developments. Picard’s personal life is on a rollercoaster, the main crew very docile and their roles small, even Geordi and Worf and the filler crew that are trying to fit in ar...more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jul 07 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Feb 10 19:16:46 -0800 2009 Tue Jul 07 20:42:05 -0700 2009
