The militarization of Star Trek is centered on them, to the detriment of any other type of story. ( ) It's been eight years since I last read a Star Trek novel and I'll admit I'm a bit rusty on the particulars of where all the characters are supposed to have ended up by this point in the Star Trek timeline, but I was still able to enjoy this book. At face value this is the story of the crew of the Enterprise-E trying to do battle with the Borg (with the help of Hugh, remember him?) while also negotiating first contact with a new super intelligence. But really this was a story of family and babies. In this book Captain Picard and Doctor Crusher are married and they're trying to decide whether or not to have a baby. OK, so Picard was 58 when he took command of the Enterprise-D and this book is set 16 years later, which means he's 74 (and Doctor Crusher is 55). Seriously? They want to have a baby? It was a bit hard to swallow. I guess fertility treatment in the 24th century has gotten pretty good. But anyway, if I overlooked that point, I was able to kick back and enjoy this while giving my brain a break. Picard and Crusher have married, but life is never completely sane on a star ship and though the honeymoon was wonderful, life now will take a dramatic turn. The Borg are also back and wrecking havoc. Then they met up with Hugh, who was once a Borg himself and together Picard and Hugh and their ships will take on this new Borg, all the while trying to learn how to work with a new life entity hellbent on keeping the Federation and Borg from fighting. Can Picard save them all and will this really mean the end of the Borg? ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

The Starship Rhea 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 Rhea comes under attack from the Einstein -- 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. 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 Einstein cannot be allowed to rejoin it. For the sake of humanity, the Borg cannot gain access to quantum slipstream technology. Starfleet Command gives Captain Picard carte blanche: do whatever he must to help the beings in the cluster, and stop the Einstein no matter the cost. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
