"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. "

" The events in this book are just the beginning to a world of big-time change. "
— Francisco, 2/14/2014" A fun adventure dealing with the Borg. The story flow was pretty good, and the tale had a few new faces. It was pleasant enough. =) "

— Deanna, 1/23/2014" This was just nice good literary candy for Christmas. "
— Kevin, 1/21/2014" It was okay. the end was interesting "
— John, 1/18/2014" I really enjoyed this one! It was the perfect blend of plot and fluff to appeal to a sad, pathetic fangirl like me ;) "
— Amanda, 1/18/2014" 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, 12/26/2013" 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, 6/23/2013" Really good take on the "new" Borg although I think the writers are getting a little lazy in coming up with methods to defeat them. "
— C.H., 6/13/2013" The author really nailed the characters in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It was a nice break away from what I've been reading lately, and it kept me guessing as to how the crew of the enterprise would defeat the enemy, this time. "
— Kaylynn, 6/8/2013" 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, 12/14/2012" This is one of the better TNG relaunch novels, in my opinion. It's a good, quick read, especially if you like the Borg. "
— Chad, 8/6/2012" Very good read - although you have to be up on some of the latest other books in order to understand everything. "
— Walter, 4/6/2012" 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. "
— Jen, 3/8/2012" Locutus returns, need I say more? "
— David, 6/4/2011" The events in this book are just the beginning, to a word of big-time change. "
