The energy barrier around the galaxy has puzzled
scientists ever since it was discovered -- there simply
is no reason for such a thing to exist. Now one scientist
thinks he has found a way to breach the barrier and
Captain Picard and the Enterprise crew have been
assigned the job of assisting the famous though emotionally
unstable Betazed scientist
with his test. Q arrives and demands that Picard stop the
test, but refuses to give a reason for his demand. When
Picard refuses to stop the test without some kind of good
reason, Q promptly kidnaps Picard and takes him on
a trip through history and a time when the Q Continuum
faced its greatest threat. Meanwhile, back on the Enterprise,
Q's wife and child have decided to stick around, much to the
dismay of the crew who have to deal with them.
In this Signature Edition, Pocket Books presents another look at one of the most fascinating characters in the Star Trek universe: Q, who was so brilliantly portrayed by John de Lancie. Finally, we meet the young Q -- a Q who was actually naïve and who made some really bad mistakes. Greg Cox knows his Trek and his work is both funny and moving. Star Trek: TNG fans won't want want to miss this marvelously funny and enlightening visit to the Star Trek universe. Reprinted with permission from The Internet Writing Journal®.
