Product Description

Product Description

To the disbelief of Starfleet Command, and especially of Admiral Janeway, the Borg were not vanquished when the USS Voyager destroyed their transwarp conduits. A disabled Borg cube seems to hold the answers to why the Borg are now striking out and killing, without troubling to assimilate their prey. Admiral Janeway, Seven of Nine and a team of Federation scientists know they don't have much time to stop the threat. Meanwhile Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise, who barely defeated the Borg who were trapped in Federation space, turn to Ambassador Spock for help. Can they discover what lies behind these strange and chilling developments before the Borg can make their triumphant return?

2.0 out of 5 stars Time to leave well alone, 11 Mar 2009
Pocket books are clearly having fun reinventing the Trek universe - I suspect some editor somewhere is on a bit of a 'power trip' messing around with the fate of the central characters. Not to mention what they've done to the Borg!

If you don't mind Star Trek changing beyond recognition, great, buy it. It's a cracking read. If you prefer to leave things as they stand at the end of the canon stuff, be warned.... leave well alone!! Stick to the books set during the various TV series.

4.0 out of 5 stars New moves!, 29 Jan 2008
By pageturner (England Uk) - See all my reviews
I felt the above comments were valid but feel they can be seen positively, I mean the Janeway thing - surely the next book they will reverse it and she'll pop up from nowhere!

I felt the shifts were good and for me it was a page turner a good mash of all of our favourites! It is perhaps not too deep but if you want something that will keep you going for a few days and not wanting to put down this is worth it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 25 Nov 2007
It's very clear that Paramount have said to Pocket Books "look, we're done with the TNG era. Tell your writers to do whatever the hell they want.". And that's exactly what's happened - the TNG characters have moved on - in most cases in predictable ways. However, this has also led to certain marquee writers (i.e. PD) making sweeping changes, changes that cannot be undone. Seven is more or less Seven and comes out broadly OK, but Janeways fate is far from ideal. Also, without giving out spoilers, lets just say out Solar System gets a little smaller. So gird yourself for some major events.

As has been noted by several other reviews, Picard, and Worf, seem remarkably forgiving of some behaviour on the part of the crew. And a starfleet officer suggesting the direct torture of another officer as a means to get the captain to talk? Hmmm. The characterization is also off - very unusual for a PD novel.

The plot is littered with coincidences, and cross-genre 'jokes' that take you out of the story (for example, in a scene stolen wholesale from Independence Day, an Ambassador meets his fate. His name? Lucius Fox). And they get tiring very quickly. Basically the whole novel comes across as David on autopilot, a PD completely out of ideas, a PD who, frankly, just can't be bothered. I would suggest you take the same tactic - don't bother. It's a page turner, and easy read, for sure - but there are far better star trek books out there. If you want a good ST novel, read Greg Cox. If you want a good Peter David ST novel, read Imzadi. Or Vendetta (the events of which this novel relies on heavily). In the meantime, just like Star Trek Generations and Star Trek Nemesis, I'll pretend this never happened. Peter David - come back - all is forgiven.
