Terrific!

This was great fun! What a delightful writer!

STNG Q-Squared - Absolutely Q-tastic!

Of the many great Star Trek authors that have been published, one of them consistently rises above them all with thought provoking, humorous and intriguing stories in this genre, that being Peter David. With Q-Squared being Peter David's second Q story, after STNG #18 - "Q-In-Law," he again proved that he perfectly captured the character of Q and put to print a true masterpiece involving this extremely intriguing character.The...

A battle for power, powerfully written

I couldn't put this book down, I just had to keep reading it to find out where it went next. This tells a story of a great battle of good and evil held within the charachters. A must for anyone wanting to know Q better. Q is the archtype of the trixter who may play anoying pranks, even to the point of being dangerous, but when it comes down to the line, he's on the right side. As with any story involving time, the temporal...

Better than Dickens!

This is by far the best STAR TREK novel I've ever read (and I've read plenty!), but it also tops my list of Best All-Around Novels. David effortlessly weaves together an incredibly complex tapestry of timelines and characters from ST:TOS and ST:TNG. I laughed out loud. I came close to crying. It's just a brilliant executed book that deserves 25 stars, not 5. I just bought my first Peter David non-Trek novel, SIR APROPOS...

At last an established connection between Trelene and Q

Peter David has outdone himself again! This story may appear confusing for some because of all the time changes and alternate universes changes, but if you can keep up with all that is going on, then this is the book for you. Even if you're not necessarily a Trekkie, but just like a good sci-fi novel, this book is a must.
