Product Description:
Nearly two decades ago, Jean-Luc Picard took command of the U.S.S. Enterprise™ NCC-1701-D. The captain knew it was an honor without equal. His new command bore the name of Enterprise. The people who had commanded other like-named starships had gone down in Starfleet's annals. Some officers would be intimidated, but they would not have been given command of Enterprise.
On her first mission, the Enterprise was sent to Farpoint Station. A simple, straightforward investigation. Perfect for a crew that had never served together. Then there was Q. An omnipotent lifeform that seemed bent on placing obstacle after obstacle in the ship's -- and in particular in Picard's -- way. And it hadn't ended with that first mission. When he was least expected, Q would appear. Pushing, prodding, testing. At times needling captain and crew with seemingly silly, pointless, and maddening trifles. Then it would turn all too serious, and the survival of Picard's crew was in Q's hands.
Why was it today that Picard was remembering the day he took command of the Enterprise-D? Now he commanded a new ship, the Enterprise-E. His crew was different. There was nothing about Gorsach that in the least resembled Farpoint. But Picard couldn't shake the feeling that something all too familiar was going on. All too awful. All too Q.

I had high hopes for this book, as I tend to like the Trek novels. The Q ones tend to be even better than the show because you can picture John DeLancie in your mind, while getting more time to develop his character's plot in the course of a novel.
However, this book falls flat. The build up is slow, but not unenjoyable. The climax however utterly fails. Very little of the exposition is actually meaningful, and in the end, the universe is saved by Picard laughing. Yes, the entire universe, ... Read More

After the not especially memorable start to the new post-Nemesis TNG era in Death in Winter and Resistance Q&A gives the series the kick it needs and finally shows us what a great TNG novel can be. Q & A, a Q story, or indeed The Q story, as the book tries, and very much succeeds, in tying every Q story together. The Qish elements of this book are perfect, Q feels very much like Q, and the way all Q's appearances are tied together is brilliant. DeCandido does a great job making the Enterprise feel inhabited ... Read More

This book is not quite as good as "Resitance" and doesn't pick where it left off. I believed that it would, but that wouldn't come later until Peter David's "Before Dishonor". This book does a good job of catching up with the crew members that passed away in "Resistance" and with showing Picard's ire with Q. Overall the book is good- but the next installment is much better.

In the Star Trek TV series, an intense, special effects-filled thriller is often followed by a calmer, more intimate character building episode. Guess the same is true for Trek novels. The TNG relaunch is now 3 books deep after Q&A, which takes place directly after Resistance, an action-packed story in which Picard & the Enterprise-E stifles another Borg invasion.
Q&A introduces two new characters: Miranda Kadohata and Zelik Leybenzon. Kadohata is Data's replacement at Ops and Second Officer. Leybenzon ... Read More

After reading Death in Winter previous to this novel, I found the authors use of verbal description somewhat lacking and less colorful in Q&A. And K.R.A.D. is a nice guy, I don't mean that to sound criticizing, I have talked to him on several occasions on trekbbs.org so I was hoping for a very full and entertaining story.
Well, with what started to be a lower-level reading prose, I found myself quickly hooked on the action and suspense of the novel. I generally didn't like the Q stories, unlike some reviewers ... Read More
