"This book was ok... but wasn't in my top whatever. There wasn't enough Picard/Crusher action and the whole "Borg is back" was just another... Ugh!!! disapointment. It wasn't brought back real well or at least not in the epic way we think of when the word "Borg" comes up. "

“Reader Boyd Gaines soberly portrays the various Star Trek: The Next Generation characters with eerie accuracy, especially Captain Picard—you’d swear Patrick Stewart was filling in.”
— AudioFile" Story from the screenplay. Data sabotages a secret observation post to highlight that they are secretly planning to empty a whole planet to take advantage of the life-giving properties in the atmosphere. Good fun. As always the book is better than the film. "
— Ann, 7/20/2013" I own the VHS video of the movie upon which the book is based. Or is it the other way around. This is a good lunch read. Not too deep. Just interesting enough to keep you moving. The small differences between the movie and the book are interesting. "
— Dogg, 12/30/2012" This was a great Star Trek novel, and it was also a very good movie. I liked it very much and I'm somehow tempted to read it again when I have too much time. Anyways, this is a good one! "
— André, 8/5/2011" The events in this book are just the beginning, to a word of big-time change. "
— Francisco, 4/27/2011" Very good read - although you have to be up on some of the latest other books in order to understand everything. "
— Walter, 9/30/2010" A good, fun book if you like Star Trek. My brother is the big fan but I do like the shows. This book was part of a number of books that are writing by different authors but tell a larger story. I like that. "
— Cameron, 6/28/2010" Locutus returns, need I say more? "
— David, 2/12/2010" This was just nice good literary candy for Christmas. "
— Kevin, 12/30/2009" I'm a fan of the underdog and the Federation is the ultimate underdog when it compares to the Borg. This beginning of a series promotes many aspects of thrills and adventure with just a touch of romance. It is recommended to read this book if you're a TNG fan... or simply a Borg fan. "
— Carlos, 7/10/2009" This was a surprisingly good Star Trek novel. Entertaining throughout, its setting is after the motion picture "Nemesis", Riker & Troi are no longer part of the crew. The Borg are back! "
— Tony, 6/23/2009" It was okay. the end was interesting <br/> "
— John, 2/17/2009" Good stuff. It helped me to go re-watch Nemesis, since the book is set after the movie. Nothing spectacular here, but still a good solid Trek tale. "
