Description:

The unpredictable cosmic entity known only as Q has plagued Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Starship Enterprise since their very first voyage together. But little was known of Q's mysterious past or that 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!

Notes

This omnibus edition includes the three books of the TNG "The Q Continuum" trilogy, originally published in August and September 1998. The books have been revised to run as a continuing story (i.e. recaps of previous books are edited or dropped) and to fix chronological inconsistencies.

This edition also includes a new interview with Greg Cox about this trilogy, conducted by Kevin Dilmore.
