Product Description:
The Starship Rhea has discovered a cluster of carbon planets that seems to be the source of the quantum energies rippling through a section of space. A landing party finds unusual life-forms inhabiting one of the planets. One officer, Lieutenant T'Ryssa Chen -- a half-Vulcan -- makes a tenuous connection with them. But before any progress can be made, the Rhea comes under attack from the Einstein -- a Starfleet vessel now controlled by the Borg. The landing party can only listen in horror as their comrades are assimilated. The Borg descend to the planet, and just as Chen accepts that she will be assimilated, the lieutenant is whisked two thousand light-years away.
A quantum slipstream -- instantaneous transportation -- is controlled by these beings in the cluster, and in the heart of the cluster there is now a Borg ship. Cut off from the rest of the Borg collective, the Einstein cannot be allowed to rejoin it. For the sake of humanity, the Borg cannot gain access to quantum slipstream technology.
Starfleet Command gives Captain Picard carte blanche: do whatever he must to help the beings in the cluster, and stop the Einstein no matter the cost.

A number of reviewers on the site have complained that this book just isn't that good, the Borg are over-used, and the random character additions and subtractions are pointless. While I can understand the points made, I have to disagree. So much of this book was to explain and fix the terrible randomness of Resistance and Before Dishonor and provide a solid path into the Destiny trilogy. The skill with which the author can tie the whole Borg arc together - not just the books, but most of the TNG ... Read More

This book, the fourth in the series of the relaunch of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the relauch of a new and more deadlier Borg is just the prelude of a upcoming battle with the borg. More deadlier and dangerous then ever before.
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Voyager" both sort of humanized the borg to the point where you dont get that skin crawling feeling when you see them.
Thanks to the relaunch of Doctor Who and the Darleks, Paramount decided to upgrade ... Read More

First let me say that i'm a 3rd generation Trekker and up-to-date on all of the most current ST movies, books, comics, conventions, exhibits etc. etc. etc. This review will not be written in "trek speak". So enjoy!
This book is hard to review because it sucked but at the same time its necessary. Why did it suck? Well, I'm sorry but I like my Vulcans to be vulcans Sarek, Tuvok, Spock those are my boys and I love it!! So to have this Vulcan who doesn't act like a vulcan is a little jarring. ... Read More

after reading this book, all i can do is ask that question and scratch my head.

Unlike many of the reviews, I enjoy the fact that the Borg story-line is being continued. I read many reviews about this book, and read peoples remarks from the previous books, including everything from silly Super-Cubes absorbing things, to the Borg being a dead-end story, etc. However, I don't see it this way. First, the Borg absorbing things is a homage to Star Trek I: The Motion Picture. In the movie, V-Ger sends out an energy pulse that (seemingly) vaporizes everything in its path, however it appears ... Read More
