Peter David
In all of his travels Captain Jean-Luc Picard has never faced an opponent more powerful that Q, a being from another continuum that Picard encountered on his very first mission as Captain of the Starship Enterprise™. In the years since, Q has returned again and again to harass Picard and his crew. Sometimes dangerous, sometimes merely obnoxious, Q has always been mysterious and seemingly all-powerful. But this time, when Q appears, he comes to Picard for help. Apparently another member of the Q continuum has tapped into an awesome power source that makes this being more powerful than the combined might of the entire Q continuum. This renegade Q is named Trelane -- also known as the Squire of Gothos, who Captain Kirk and his crew first encountered over one hundred years ago. Q explains that, armed with this incredible power, Trelane has become unspeakably dangerous. Now Picard must get involved in an awesome struggle between super beings. And this time the stakes are not just Picard's ship, or the galaxy, or even the universe -- this time the stakes are all of creation...

"Peter David discusses in the introduction to this novel that he tends to write two different types of Star Trek books: straightforward adventure stories and stories that trade on past Trek continuity. Generally, I enjoy the former much more than the latter from David. I think the latter tend to drift toward fan service or humor, whilst I believe the first allows David more freedom to tell a good story, unencumbered by fan expectations. However, this novel is one of the latter types, and I think it's one of his best. He manages to pull in so many different threads of the Trek universe while creating his won threads, and yet none of it felt like fan service to me. He manages to give every character some great scenes which is always a plus for me, and there's real emotion here as well. Its an incredibly satisfying read."
