The unpredictable cosmic entity known only as Q has plagued Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship USS Enterprise-D since their very first voyage together. But little was known of Q's mysterious past or of the unearthly realm from which he hails. Until now. A brilliant scientist may have found a way to breach the energy barrier surrounding the Milky Way galaxy, and the Enterprise is going to put it to the test. The last thing Captain Picard needs is a surprise visit from Q, but the omnipotent trickster has more in mind than his usual pranks. Kidnapping Picard, he takes the captain back through time to the moment the Q Continuum faced its greatest threat. Now Picard must learn Q's secrets – or all of reality may perish!

I almost heard Peter David in these pages, Greg does seem to have been able to stamp Q in a similar way. It's a little sad that this is quite an old miniseries now; for many years, anything that happened beyond the enterprise D was new and futuristic feeling. Time catches us all, I suppose.

This was a little fun, light reading, good to pop into old friends. I felt sorry for poor Leyoro, and enjoyed very much hearing the tones of the familiar actor's voices as I read this one.
