5.0 out of 5 stars
Star Trek The Q Continuum - A wonderful Signature Edition, Oct 26 2003
I distinctly remember looking at the original trilogy of Star Trek The Next Generation novels 47-49, "Q-Space," "Q-Zone" and "Q-Strike" with a great amount of excitement and anticipation. The only "minor" trepidation that I had at that time was that prior to Greg Cox tackling a story with Q in it, only Peter David had done so and quite successfully. This was a very minor thing though considering Greg Cox's previous Star Trek titles and knowing just how well he writes. As expected, this trepidation was quickly dissipated because Greg Cox can definitely write Q with ease!Contained within the pages of this extraordinarily well written and beautifully reprinted Signature Edition is most certainly one of the best trilogies to have ever been written for Star Trek. Greg Cox knows Star Trek, inside and out, and unlike other author's attempts to throw in little tidbits of Trek trivia, where it comes out rather dull and trite, he deftly adds to his current story, using that which has already been established. Included with this Signature Edition is an excellent interview with Greg Cox by Kevin Dilmore, one of Star Trek's up and coming authors. The cover art for this Signature Edition novel serves the story quite well. The premise: Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise have been entrusted with the mission of ferrying a brilliant Federation scientist to the great barrier which encompasses the Milky Way galaxy where he intends to prove his theoretical way to breach it. Unfortunately for Picard and crew and quite fortunate for us the readers, Q makes an appearance and he takes Picard with him, leaving behind his "wife" and "child," much to the chagrin of Riker and the rest of the crew who're stuck with them. What follows from there is an extraordinary, fast pace and highly intriguing tale in the mythos that is Star Trek where Q takes Picard throughout history, to include visits to the Tkon Empire and the inside of a star and many other exotic settings for a Star Trek novel. I highly recommend this Signature Edition version of The Q Continuum or the three paperback novels, STNG #'s 47-49 to any and all fans of the genre. You will soon learn that novels written by Greg Cox are not to be missed. {ssintrepid}
